Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop what he called an “endless war” and move toward ending the conflict, according to reports from Yahoo UK and The Mirror. The comments reflect Modi’s direct message to a key ally of Russia amid fighting in Ukraine that has continued for more than four years.

Both outlets describe the interaction as a form of pushback from India, which maintains close ties with Russia, as the war enters an extended phase. The reports frame the exchange as Modi pressing for a change in direction toward concluding the war rather than prolonging it.

While the accounts largely align on the substance of Modi’s message—urging Putin to shift from ongoing conflict to ending it—they differ mainly in phrasing. Yahoo UK uses “endless war,” while The Mirror quotes the full call to “move from endless war to the end of war.” Neither outlet, in the provided excerpts, details specific diplomatic steps, timing, or a response from either leader.
