Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he understands India’s concerns about Russia’s conflict with Ukraine and wishes for the conflict to end.
During the bilateral meeting between both the leaders on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Samarkand, Putin was quoted on Friday as saying, “I know about your position on the conflict in Ukraine, and I know about your concerns. We want all of this to end as soon as possible. We will keep you abreast of what is happening there.”
The Russian President said this after Modi told him that “today’s time is not the time for war”.
This was Modi and Putin’s first face-to-face meeting since Russia attacked Ukraine in February of this year.
Furthermore, PM Modi delivered his address at the SCO meeting, emphasizing key issues such as global market distress caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the global energy and food crisis.
“The SCO should strive to develop reliable, resilient, and diversified supply chains in our region. For this, better connectivity will be required, as well as it will also be important that we all give full rights of transit to each other,” the Indian Prime Minister said during his address to world leaders.
