In the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Prime Minister Modi reiterated his call for dialogue and diplomacy as the only way forward, in his conversation with Putin.

The phone conversation came days after it emerged that PM Modi will not be travelling to Russia for the annual India-Russia summit this year.

Putin visited India last year for the summit.
