Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday to end the war in Ukraine. The request was made during a meeting that took place on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit held in Kyrgyzstan.

Modi expressed the desire to enhance relations between India and Russia, emphasizing that the continuation of the conflict has negative impacts on humanity. According to him, with each day of war, there is a setback for global society.

In addition to the call for peace, the summit addressed other relevant topics, although details regarding these matters were not disclosed.

The meeting comes in a context where peace negotiations mediated by the United States have stalled. The lack of progress in these talks has led to a prolongation of the conflict, prompting several nations to call for its resolution.

The event underscores the importance of international relations and diplomatic efforts amid geopolitical tensions.
