According to The Times of India, podcast host Lex Friedman released the video of his conversation with Indian Prime Minister Modi on the 16th local time. In the program, Modi talked about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and stated that Ukraine should have direct discussions with Russia rather than just negotiating with its allies. ‘Only when both Ukraine and Russia sit at the negotiating table can the issues be resolved. Ukraine may have had countless discussions with its allies, but this will not yield any results. Discussions must include both parties,’ Modi said. (Global Times)
