Putin and Modi discuss Ukraine conflict and deepen Russia–India strategic ties

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reaffirming the two nations’ special privileged strategic partnership and addressing pressing global and bilateral issues.

Putin briefed Modi on the main outcomes of his August 6 meeting in Moscow with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Stephen Biegun, providing insight into ongoing diplomatic engagements over the Ukraine conflict. Modi expressed gratitude for the update and reaffirmed India’s consistent stance in favor of a political and diplomatic settlement to the crisis, steering clear of military escalation.

The discussion also covered core areas of the Russia–India agenda, with both leaders exploring avenues to enhance trade, expand economic collaboration, and boost investment flows. The exchange highlighted the enduring depth of Moscow–New Delhi ties, a partnership that spans defense, energy, space exploration, and emerging technologies, even as global geopolitical fault lines intensify.

Their conversation comes at a time when BRICS cooperation and non-Western alliances are increasingly shaping global decision-making, with Russia and India positioning themselves as pivotal players in a multipolar world order.
