Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow welcomes India's willingness to contribute to a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine-Russia war. Speaking to Indian media on September 8, 2026, Peskov noted that India's position on the conflict aligns significantly with Russia's own desire for a peaceful outcome. The Kremlin also confirmed that Russia is working to return Indian citizens who were allegedly lured into fighting on the front lines in Ukraine. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to hold bilateral talks on September 11, 2026, ahead of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. Peskov emphasized that the upcoming summit is not an anti-Western grouping, but rather a collective of nations sharing a common outlook.
Why it matters
The diplomatic engagement signals a continued effort by India to mediate in the long-standing conflict, while the repatriation of Indian nationals from the front lines remains a critical humanitarian priority for New Delhi.
