India’s Prime Minister calls on Russian President Vladimir Putin to take steps toward ending the war in Ukraine, according to reports from The Independent and Nasha Niva. The remarks present the message as an appeal to reduce the conflict and move toward a halt in fighting.

The two outlets broadly align on the substance of the appeal: that India’s leader urges Putin to work for an end to the war rather than its continuation. The Independent frames the message as a call to stop what it describes as an “endless war,” while Nasha Niva presents it in more general terms as urging Putin to work toward ending the conflict. Both accounts position India’s intervention as diplomatic.

While the reports do not provide detailed information in the excerpts shared here—such as the setting of the call or specific proposals—they converge on the key point that India’s Prime Minister is pressing for progress toward ending the war in Ukraine through dialogue or negotiations.
