"We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace," Modi said.

Modi is paying the first visit to Ukraine by an Indian prime minister.

As he pushed for a way forward on ending the Ukraine war, Modi urged Zelensky to sit down for talks with Russia and offered to act as a "friend" to help bring peace.

"No problem can be resolved on a battlefield," Modi said in Poland on Wednesday before heading to Ukraine.

He is totally happy to have ethnic cleansing by his BJP goons settle what religious buildings are allowed to stay up in India, though.

For this, and many other reasons, Modi can go fuck himself.

“We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace,” Modi said.

that is definitely NOT taking a side lol.

“No problem can be resolved on a battlefield”

unless your opponent is not negotiating in good faith, or refuses to negotiate at all.

Under the current circumstances, the only moral position is to support peace. Once a peace - or at least a ceasefire - is achieved, Russia, Ukraine and the separatist regions may be able to negotiate a settlement and those who started the war might even be exposed and punished. But if the fighting continues, thousands of random people will die needlessly.
