Modi Tells Putin War Against Ukraine Must End
On the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, Modi called Putin“my friend” and praised the strengthening of economic ties between India and Russia, which, he said, are based on the need to put the interests of the peoples of both countries above all else.
The Indian prime minister said that India supports“all peace efforts in this direction” and will continue to do so, according to a Kremlin transcript.

“Every day that the war continues, humanity is, in effect, set back a step, whilst every step towards peace gives all of humanity real hope for peace. We need to move from endless war to an end to the war, to a cessation of hostilities. And we will need to move precisely in this direction,” Modi said. He has previously stated that he seeks a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine.
Putin reportedly thanked Modi in response, assuring him that Russia was“moving forward along this path.”
As previously reported by Ukrinform, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday that a trilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir was possible“only to formalize agreements.”
