Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed deep concern over reports of an alleged attack on the official residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging all sides involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict to prioritize diplomacy and dialogue to prevent further escalation.
In a public statement, the Prime Minister said that continued violence threatens regional and global stability and reiterated that diplomatic engagement remains the only viable path toward lasting peace. He emphasized that India has consistently advocated restraint and peaceful resolution since the onset of the conflict.
The statement follows claims by Russian authorities that Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack targeting President Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region. Russian officials said air defense systems successfully intercepted the drones and that there were no casualties or damage reported.
Ukraine has denied the allegations, calling them unfounded and politically motivated. Kyiv maintains that such claims are intended to derail ongoing diplomatic initiatives and justify intensified military actions.
The reported incident comes at a sensitive moment, as international efforts to revive peace negotiations continue amid prolonged hostilities. Analysts warn that any escalation involving high-profile targets could significantly worsen tensions and undermine fragile diplomatic channels.
India has maintained a neutral and balanced position throughout the conflict, calling for immediate cessation of violence, respect for sovereignty, and a return to negotiations. Prime Minister Modi’s remarks reaffirm New Delhi’s stance that dialogue, not confrontation, is essential for ending the war.
