Vladimir Putin said Russia was working with the US and other partners towards a peaceful settlement of his war in Ukraine as he reached India on Thursday for a high-level talks with Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
The Russian president is in India for a two-day visit for an annual Russia-India summit where talks have been dominated by Russia’s war on Ukraine as the Indian prime minister called for peace. India and Russia are looking to add a major boost to their defence and trade ties with this visit despite pressure from the US on the Asian country to rework its decades-old tested alliance with Moscow.
