Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine: Jaishankar's remarks

Jaishankar’s comments come in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent diplomatic efforts, which included visits to both Russia and Ukraine to foster discussions aimed at resolving the conflict. He underscored the necessity of a diplomatic solution over military action, asserting that the terms of negotiation must be determined by the conflicting parties themselves. This perspective contrasts with the broader commentary on the challenges of diplomacy in the current geopolitical climate, where the protracted nature of the conflict has revealed significant weaknesses in traditional diplomatic approaches. As the war continues, the urgency for collaborative efforts to manage and eventually resolve the conflict remains critical, with various international actors, including the United Nations and Turkey, attempting to mediate without achieving lasting peace.
