The crisis should be resolved through dialogue – India
India has not yet condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has consistently maintained that the crisis should be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue. Since the start of the Ukraine conflict in February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky several times.

discussion on food security
India has also said that the suspension of the initiative to export grain through the Black Sea is expected to pose challenges to food security and fuel and fertilizer supplies facing the world, especially in the southern part of the world. This initiative resulted in the export of more than 9 million tonnes of grain and other food products from Ukraine. Jaishankar held extensive talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov during his visit to Moscow from November 7 to 8.
