"I conveyed India’s consistent position on the need for an early and peaceful resolution of the conflict. India remains committed to making every possible contribution in this regard, as well as to further strengthening bilateral ties with Ukraine,' Modi said on X.

On August 8, President Vladimir Putin briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the latest developments related to Ukraine. Thanking him for the detailed update, PM Modi reiterated India’s consistent stance on the peaceful resolution of the conflict.

The leaders also reviewed progress on the bilateral agenda and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia.
