Modi calls for diplomacy to end Russia-Ukraine War

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged Russia and Ukraine to use diplomatic ways to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Modi during his speech at the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Bali stated that I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy
in Ukraine.

He continued by saying that concrete and group resolution is needed at this time in order to preserve global peace, happiness, and security.

This marked the first summit of G20 leaders ever since the start of the Ukraine war.

Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine was not publicly denounced by India, but Modi warned Russian President Vladimir Putin in September that today’s era is not an era of war.

India became Russia’s largest oil customer after China other than that Russia also provided India with military supplies for decades.

Modi also added that energy supplies and the stability of the energy market must not face any restrictions.

“Today’s fertilizer shortage is tomorrow’s food crisis for which the world will not have a solution. We should make a mutual agreement to keep the supply chain of both fertilizers and food grains stable and assured,” Modi added.
