Speaking during an event in Moscow, Putin was quoted as saying by News.ru: "By the way, we are grateful to the Prime Minister for his ideas—I won't go into details now—for his desire to end this conflict, including peacefully and as quickly as possible."
Modi informed about India's stance on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war when Putin visited India for the BRICS summit last month.
Modi on September 11, on the sidelines of the mega event in Delhi, reiterated that dialogue and diplomacy were the way forward to resolve conflicts during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in New Delhi ahead of the BRICS Summit.
His remarks assume significance amid the escalation in fighting between Russia and Ukraine in recent weeks.
