External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar says India is in contact with both Russia and Ukraine as part of efforts to help ease and end the war. He also indicates that India engages with Kyiv and Moscow directly to support dialogue.

The reports describe India’s diplomatic position and its communication channels with the two sides. While both outlets reflect the same core message—that New Delhi is speaking with Russia and Ukraine—the phrasing emphasizes the aim of “easing” the war in one account and the broader goal of “helping end” it in the other. Neither report provides additional details on specific proposals, timing, or outcomes from the contacts.

Overall, the information presented focuses on India’s ongoing outreach to both parties rather than on any announced negotiation framework or concrete steps beyond communication.
