Modi Urges Putin to Seek Peace After Attack on Ukraine Hospital

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on his “friend” Vladimir Putin to seek a peaceful end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, a day after a deadly missile strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv provoked international outrage.

“Loss of life leads to despair especially when children are killed,” Modi told the Russian president in televised comments Tuesday at the start of their formal talks in the Kremlin. “Resolution can’t be found on the battlefield, peace needs to be pursued through dialog and diplomacy.”

Putin said they discussed the war during informal talks over dinner on Monday, and he thanked Modi for “trying” to find ways to resolve the conflict. Modi said their lengthy discussion yielded “several ideas” that left him “hopeful” of a way forward, without providing further details.

I understand that India has to do whats best for India for economic reasons...but much of the world sees Indias financial support as helping keep this war going.

For that matter the USA should cut all trade with China

Hugs and kisses from Modi are all that Putin needs and wants to keep oil prices affordable -- Putin will ignore Modi's oblique references to Putin's war crimes.
