PM Modi spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone earlier today, reiterating India’s long-held belief that the issues between Russia and the NATO group can only be resolved by honest and sincere conversation.
The prime minister called for an immediate end to the violence and for all parties to work together to return to the road of diplomatic engagement and diplomacy. According to a Ministry of External Affairs press release.

According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, Russian forces are utilizing precision weaponry to destroy Ukrainian military installations. Russia has already been hit with a slew of restrictions designed to prohibit it from accessing Western financial markets.
