Russia's partner is actively involved in the settlement in Ukraine

India has begun to play an increasingly larger role in efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Bloomberg reports.

The minister noted that in recent months India has become “a little more actively involved in the settlement process, going beyond mere support.” According to him, New Delhi is interacting with both sides of the conflict on issues such as ensuring maritime security and reducing the intensity of hostilities.

“We are negotiating these issues with both Russia and Ukraine. We are trying to provide assistance, starting with the issue of safety of navigation in the Black Sea,” Jaishankar added.
