Indian Prime Minister Modi Calls on Putin to End the War in Ukraine
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Experts note that this move should be evaluated within the framework of strategic autonomy.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, stating that the war is setting humanity back.
Modi's Call for Peace
In a statement made on Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi openly called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Modi stated that every day spent in war takes humanity backward and that every step taken toward peace renews hope.
India's Foreign Policy
Analysts emphasize that despite India's heavy reliance on Russian oil and its deep-rooted ties, this call is not a policy shift but rather aligns with the country's strategic autonomy. The Delhi administration strives to remain neutral while improving its relations with the West.
Putin's Response and Moscow's Stance
In response to Modi's call, Russian leader Vladimir Putin expressed gratitude and gave a vague, polite response indicating that they were moving along this path. Experts, however, state that Russia has not abandoned its goal of military victory and remains determined to continue the conflict.
