India Leads Talks to End Ukraine War, Says Foreign Minister Jaishankar

Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told reporters that India is now moving beyond advocacy to actively facilitate talks that could bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine. He emphasized that the initiative is being coordinated by Indian diplomats in partnership with other interested nations.
Jaishankar said the discussions are India‑led and involve multiple stakeholders, all seeking a political solution that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty while addressing security concerns of all parties. The talks are described as “ongoing” and are being pursued through diplomatic channels rather than public forums.
The statement reflects India’s long‑standing position of neutrality in the Russia‑Ukraine war, coupled with a renewed push for dialogue and cease‑fire. Jaishankar reiterated that India will continue to use its diplomatic outreach to encourage a peaceful settlement and will keep the international community updated on progress.
