Ever since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for resolving the issues through dialogue and diplomacy. He has spoken to both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian counterpart Vladamir Putin several times since the beginning of the conflict.

In September last year, PM Modi held a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir. During the meeting, PM Modi said, "Today's era is not of war." The meeting between the two leaders was held on the sidelines of the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan.

"Today's era isn't of war and I have spoken to you about it on the call. Today we'll get the opportunity to talk about how can we progress on the path of peace. India-Russia has stayed together with each other for several decades," PM Modi said.

"We spoke on the phone several times about India-Russia bilateral relations and also on various issues. We should find ways to address the problems of food, fuel security and fertilizers. I want to thank Russia and Ukraine for helping us to evacuate our students from Ukraine," he added.
