They also discussed ways to further enhance cooperation between India and Ukraine across different sectors, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement.

The Prime Minister reiterated India’s humanistic approach and reiterated India’s consistent stance that the conflict can only be resolved through dialogue, it said.

“Prime Minister reaffirmed India’s human-centric approach and reiterated India’s consistent position that the conflict must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. He conveyed India’s readiness to contribute to all efforts aimed at peaceful resolution of the conflict,” the PMO said.

India Reiterates Stand on Conflict Resolution Through Dialogue

India has been in touch with the Ukrainian and Russian leadership since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022. The Prime Minister has repeatedly said that this is not the 21st Century to wage wars and conflicts between nations must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy.

The Prime Minister met Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi in September. They discussed the Ukraine war as well as the conflict between the United States and Iran in the Middle East.

Earlier, the Prime Minister and Chinese President Xi Jinping had both spoken about their willingness to help in finding a settlement between Kyiv and Moscow.

Kremlin Pleased With India’s Willingness to Help

Russia had also welcomed the possibility of India helping to find a solution to the conflict. The Kremlin’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov had said that Modi and Xi had both shown great interest in finding a settlement and offered their good offices.

He added that Moscow could not exclude this possibility in the near future — which was October at the time.

However, Russia and Ukraine have been attacking one another causing huge damage. The United States have been involved in diplomatic talks.

A new set of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States will begin in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday after previous rounds of talks this year have failed to show any clear progress towards ending the conflict.
