Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the path to peace in Ukraine is not through the battlefield but on the negotiation table, while also urging both warring countries to hold discussions about ending the three-year-long war.
The Prime Minister also said that Ukraine may hold “countless discussions with its allies" about peace, but peace will not be achieved until both Ukraine and Russia sit for negotiations.
“I have a close relationship with Russia and Ukraine alike. I can sit with President Putin and say that this is not the time for war, and I can also tell President Zelensky in a friendly way that brother, regardless of how many people stand with you in the world, there will never be a resolution on the battlefield," PM Modi said on Lex Fridman’s podcast that was aired on Sunday evening.
He said that earlier peace talks were challenging, however, the current situation presents an opportunity to hold conversation with each other about ending the war.
“The resolution will only come when both Ukraine and Russia come to the negotiating table. Ukraine may hold countless discussions with their allies, but it will bear no fruit. Discussions must include both parties instead. Initially, it was challenging to find peace, but now the current situation presents an opportunity for meaningful and productive talks between Ukraine and Russia," he said.
