Story summary

On October 4, 2026, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar announced that India is stepping up its efforts to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine by engaging in practical discussions rather than just advocating for peace. Speaking at the Munich Leaders Meeting in Delhi, he stated that India has been holding conversations with both Russia and Ukraine on issues such as Black Sea shipping safety, grain exports, and non-attack possibilities. This marks a shift from India's previous cautious stance to a more active role in negotiating an end to the conflict. Jaishankar emphasized the historical importance of ties between India and Russia but underscored that dialogue is essential for resolving disputes. India's increased involvement reflects its desire to play a constructive role in international diplomacy despite pressure from other countries like the US regarding its continued purchases of Russian energy.
