India should play a more active role in ending Russia’s war in Ukraine if it wants to win a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, Ukraine’s ambassador in New Delhi said.

India has “a four-point principle” towards the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, said EAM S. Jaishankar during his recent visit to Germany. He said that “suggestions have been made” for India to host a peace conference on the issue, but made no commitment on whether India would in fact forward any peace proposal of its own.

Analysts say while India seeks to be a responsible global stakeholder and boost its strategic interests, its resources may be limited.

Ukraine's Ambassador to India, Oleksandr Polishchuk, expressed hope that India will participate at a very senior level in the next Peace Summit. He emphasized the respect PM Modi commands globally and highlighted India's potential role in achieving peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Amid the renewed push for peace talks, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said that India believes Russia’s participation is essential to take forward negotiations to end the conflict
