Mr Zelenskiy asked the Group of 20 major economies last month to adopt Ukraine’s 10-point peace formula and to end the war. India holds the G20 presidency for a year. Mr Modi also “strongly reiterated” his call for an immediate end to hostilities in Ukraine and conveyed India’s support for any peace efforts.
Reuters also reported last month that Moscow had sent India a list of more than 500 products for potential delivery, including parts for cars, aircraft and trains, as sanctions squeeze Russia’s ability to keep vital industries running.
