WASHINGTON: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Samarkand were not a change in India's position on the conflict in Ukraine, external affairs minister S Jaishankar has said as he underlined that New Delhi has been urging for early cessation of hostilities between the two countries.
Responding to a question on Russia's referendum in areas of Ukraine that it has occupied, Jaishankar told a group of Indian reporters here on Wednesday that India would reflect its views on the issue at the UN in New York.
