Watch: Russia-Ukraine conflict | Can India be a peacemaker?

The recent diplomatic activities of Indian leaders have led to speculation about India’s potential role in resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Despite the escalating tensions between the two countries, India has expressed willingness to convey messages between Putin and Zelenskyy and potentially propose a peace plan. However, there are challenges to India’s involvement, including its late entry into the peace process, close ties with Russia, and historical reluctance towards mediation. If India decides to mediate, it will require significant effort and resources, especially as the conflict intensifies. Ultimately, India will need to navigate carefully to avoid triggering geopolitical tensions.
