Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again voiced India's firm dedication to achieving a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine during a recent phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This conversation occurred shortly after Modi spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, demonstrating India's commitment to engaging with all parties involved in the crisis.

During the call with Zelenskyy, Modi reiterated India's consistent stance in favor of a peaceful settlement and offered support for any efforts aimed at restoring peace in the region. He also conveyed India's readiness to provide all possible assistance toward achieving this goal. Zelenskyy, in turn, shared his perspective on the latest developments in the conflict. Both leaders agreed to maintain close communication moving forward.

Modi emphasized India's steadfast and consistent position on the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. He also repeated India's willingness to extend all possible support towards restoring peace. Zelenskyy acknowledged India's support for peace efforts but stressed the importance of Ukraine's participation in any decisions regarding its future. He also called for limiting Russian energy exports as a means of exerting pressure on Moscow.

In addition to the call with Zelenskyy, India has also welcomed the upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has endorsed the summit, stating that it "holds the promise of bringing to an end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and opening up the prospects for peace". The MEA further emphasized Modi's consistent message that "this is not an era of war".

India's support for the Trump-Putin summit underscores its proactive approach to resolving the conflict through diplomacy and dialogue. The meeting is expected to focus on efforts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. While the White House is considering inviting Zelenskyy to the summit, his attendance remains uncertain.

India's consistent engagement with both Russia and Ukraine, coupled with its endorsement of the Trump-Putin summit, highlights its commitment to playing a constructive role in resolving the conflict. Modi's government believes that a peaceful settlement is essential for regional and global stability, and it is prepared to support any initiative that advances this goal.
