WorldModi urges Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Can he persuade him?

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has again urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end Moscow’s war against Ukraine. The appeal reflects India’s long-standing policy of strategic autonomy rather than a strategic shift in its foreign policy. India and Russia remain closely linked, with Russia supplying about 40% of India’s defense imports and continuing to meet its energy needs. Analysts expect the remarks to cause no rupture in ties or change Putin’s position.
