PM’s big message to Putin on Ukraine war: Death of innocent children very painful
NEW DELHI, JULY 9 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin that war is not the solution, referring to Moscow’s ongoing war with Ukraine.
“I am happy that we could discuss about the war in Ukraine with an open mind, and we listened to each other’s thoughts on the war with great respect,” Modi said during the bilateral talks with Putin in Moscow on Tuesday.
“Whether it be war, conflicts, or terror attacks, everyone who believes in humanity is pained when there is loss of lives. But when innocent children are murdered, when we see innocent children dying, it is heart-wrenching and that pain is immense. I also had a discussion about this with you,” he said.
The Prime Minister told Putin that India is ready to cooperate in “all ways” for the restoration of peace in the region.
“I assure you and the world community that India is in favour of peace. Listening to my friend Putin talk about peace yesterday gave me hope,” he added.
