On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received birthday wishes from Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone conversation. Modi expressed India's willingness to assist in achieving a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This discussion followed Modi's recent conversation with US President Donald Trump regarding efforts to end the war.
Putin's call marked the third time the two leaders have spoken since early August, where they not only discussed the situation in Ukraine but also evaluated the state of India-Russia relations.
In a message shared on social media, Modi stated, 'Thank you, my friend, President Putin, for your phone call and warm wishes on my 75th birthday. We are committed to further strengthening our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership. India is ready to make all possible contributions towards a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict.'
