S Jaishankar on Tuesday reiterated India’s stand of peaceful solution to the Russia- Ukraine war. He said that solution could be found on the battlefield.
He called for an immediate solution to the conflict, “The sooner they do it, the better because the rest of the world is being affected,” Jaishankar said this during an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, reported PTI.
“We have today two major conflicts taking place simultaneously. This is putting the entire international system under great stress,” he added.
Talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Middle East crisis, the EAM said that the concerned countries need to take initiative to end conflicts.
“And we cannot be just spectators and say, well, that’s the way it is. It may or may not work. We will not know until we try. But we do believe that on both these conflicts, in Ukraine and in the Middle East, countries need to take initiatives, make efforts, however difficult it looks, to try and find some common ground, something better than what we have today,” he was quoted as saying in the interview published on Tuesday.
