Their talks came just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, where Modi underlined that peace efforts must not be delayed and that the world has a collective duty to end the bloodshed.&nbsp;Before Modi’s meeting with Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had spoken to the Indian leader by phone. Zelensky later said India had expressed readiness to take initiatives and convey clear signals to Moscow in the pursuit of peace. India has consistently urged that the war be resolved through dialogue and negotiation rather than through continued fighting. During a visit to Moscow in July last year, Modi told Putin that peace cannot be achieved amid “bombs and bullets.” A month later, in Kyiv, Modi conveyed the same message to Zelensky, urging both Russia and Ukraine to sit across the table without further delay.
