Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in Moscow that peace was “of utmost importance” and that “war cannot solve problems”.<\/p>\n

“As a friend, I have also said that for the brighter future of our next generation, peace is of utmost importance,” Modi said in a speech in Hindi, sitting alongside Putin.<\/p>\n

“When innocent children are murdered, one sees them die, the heart pains and that pain is unbearable.”<\/p>\n

Modi said he and Putin had discussed Russia’s campaign in Ukraine during his visit to Moscow.<\/p>\n

“As a true friend, we were together and chatted on a range of issues,” Modi said.<\/p>\n

“And I was happy that on Ukraine, we could both express our views openly and in detail.”<\/p>\n

Modi landed in Moscow on Monday, hours after Russia launched a massive barrage targeting cities across Ukraine that killed more than three dozen people and heavily damaged a children’s hospital in Kyiv.<\/p>\n

It sparked condemnation from governments in Europe and North America.<\/p>\n

“I know that war cannot solve problems, solutions and peace talks can’t succeed among bombs, guns, and bullets,” Modi added. “And we need to find a way to peace through dialogue.”<\/p>\n

Russia is a vital supplier of cut-price oil and weapons to India, but Moscow’s isolation from the West and growing ties with Beijing have impacted its partnership with New Delhi.<\/p>\n

Western powers have in recent years also cultivated stronger relations with India as a hedge against China and its growing influence across the Asia-Pacific, while pressuring New Delhi to distance itself from Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
