US media praises Modi for stance taken during his meeting with Putin

NEW DELHI: The American mainstream media praised the stance taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

Taking a stance against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Prime Minister told Putin that today's era is not an era of war and that he had spoken to Putin about this over the phone. "(Prime Minister) Modi rebukes Putin over war in Ukraine," The Washington Post reported.

According to the report of the Washington Post, Putin is under all kinds of pressure on the issue of Ukraine invasion. Responding to the fact that he is aware of India's position and constant concerns, Putin says that he will try to end the war as soon as possible, but accuses Ukraine of not being ready for negotiations to end it.

The headline of The New York Times reads "India's Leader Tells Putin That Now Is Not an Era for War'. But the meeting was amicable and the two referred to past history during the discussion, according to the New York Times. The New York Times reports that the Russian President held talks with Modi after China's President Xi Jinping's meeting with Putin.
