'He has good ideas': Putin lauds PM Modi's peace push to end Russia-Ukraine war

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to seek an end to the Ukraine conflict, saying that he has “good ideas” for achieving a peaceful resolution."Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of those world leaders who, despite our very good and even friendly relations, personal good relations, constantly raises the question and asks the question about putting an end to the conflict in Ukraine," Putin said.Asked about the issue at the Valdai Club forum, Putin said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been actively working to find mutually acceptable solutions to the Ukraine conflict."He has an avid interest and very good ideas aimed at finding mutually acceptable solutions. In that sense, naturally, the Prime Minister takes a neutral position but with an interest in the end of the conflict. I think it's my duty to say that directly.
