  1. Indian PM Modi Urges Putin to End Ukraine War

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine for the sake of humanity. This plea occurred during a meeting of leaders from China, Russia, and India aimed at countering United States influence. Modi described the conflict as an "endless war" while facing potential U.S. tariffs on Russian oil. The interaction took place alongside a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan where member states criticized sanctions and attacks on Iran.

    Why it matters

    India has historically maintained a neutral stance toward Russia to secure energy and defense ties. The U.S. threat of oil tariffs puts pressure on New Delhi to distance itself from Moscow. This shift indicates growing tension between Russia's strategic goals and the interests of its non-Western partners.

    What is confirmed

    • Narendra Modi told Vladimir Putin that the war in Ukraine must end for humanity's sake.
    • Leaders from China, Russia, and India met to counter U.S. influence.
    • The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation held a summit in Kyrgyzstan.
    • The SCO criticized sanctions and attacks on Iran.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Modi specifically called the conflict an "endless war".
