In a hopeful appeal, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help negotiate peace in Ukraine, underscoring India’s potential as a global mediator. Modi, respected for India’s non-aligned stance, could leverage India’s influence to pressure Moscow, possibly by limiting economic resources and defense support to Russia. Despite India’s longstanding ties with Moscow, Modi has voiced support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and could play a central role in bridging peace talks—a prospect Zelenskyy welcomes, even suggesting that talks occur in India.
