LIVE: PM Modi Makes Direct Appeal to End Ukraine War in Russia | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for the annual India-Russia summit today. Both leaders reviewed bilateral relations and discussed a wide array of issues including the war in Ukraine, defence, trade and energy. PM Modi has also been conferred with Russia's highest civilian honour, the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle, for his contributions to the India-Russia relationship. During his visit, PM Modi appealed Putin to end the war in Ukraine saying, "A solution will not be found on the battlefield". India's stance on the Ukraine war is clear - any negotiation must include Russia. However, New Delhi also expects Moscow to respect the UN Charter and Ukraine's sovereignty. PM Modi also talked about repatriation of about 40 Indian citizens, who were tricked by agents into joining the Russian forces. The talks have been fruitful as Russian President Putin has agreed to discharge all Indian citizens.

The Indian Prime Minister's Moscow visit has drawn sharp criticism from the West. The US has raised concerns about PM Modi's engagements with President Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also condemned the visit saying that PM Modi's visit undermine peace efforts for Ukraine. Zelensky called Putin a "criminal", referring to yesterday's airstrikes on Kyiv's children's hospital. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
