New Delhi: The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for about two and a half years. Thousands of people have died in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Lakhs of houses have been reduced to rubble. Crores of lives have been destroyed. Still, the fire of war has not been extinguished. The whole world, including India, is trying to somehow end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Now that Modi’s government has been formed in India for the third time in a row, the whole world’s eyes are fixed on India in view of the Russia-Ukraine war. In a way, the responsibility of ending the Russia-Ukraine war has now fallen on PM Modi. 90 countries of the world have come together to end the Ukraine-Russia war. India is also included in this.
Actually, Ukraine Peace Summit is being organized in Switzerland. About 90 countries have confirmed their participation in it. However, invitations were sent to 160 countries. India will also participate in this Ukraine Peace Summit. Russia has refused to participate in this Peace Summit. Like Russia, China has also refused. China has also put a separate condition. Switzerland’s President Viola Amhard gave this information. Despite Russia’s refusal to participate in the conference, this conference is being organized. More than half of the countries participating in it are from Europe.
What is the purpose of the Peace Summit?
According to President Amhard, the aim of this summit to be held on June 15-16, nearly 28 months after Russia launched its attack on Ukraine, is to pave the way for a possible peace and agree on ending the war. He said that this is not propaganda. It is about holding talks first on the issue of humanitarian aid being provided by Switzerland. According to Swiss officials, Brazil and China have said that they will not participate in this summit until both parties, including Russia, come to the negotiating table. Ukraine is ready to join it, but Russia has refused. However, Switzerland is in constant touch with Russian officials regarding the Ukraine Peace Summit.
Will Modi go to the summit?
Switzerland says that India will also participate in the Ukraine Peace Summit. However, nothing has been officially revealed yet as to whether PM Modi will go from India or External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will go or any other Indian representative will participate. It is believed that the final list of those attending the Ukraine Peace Summit will come by Friday. According to Al Jazeera, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are likely to attend. US President Joe Biden will not attend this summit. But Vice President Kamala Harris and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will attend in his place.
Modi has even stopped the war
If PM Modi goes to this summit, it will be a big step towards the Russia-Ukraine war. India will try its best to find a way to end the war in this summit. Even before this, PM Modi has played a big role in the Russia-Ukraine war. When the war broke out between the two countries, there was a challenge to safely evacuate Indian students, then PM Modi talked to both the countries and stopped the war for some time. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar himself had revealed this. In March 2022, Russia had once made up its mind to launch a nuclear attack on Ukraine. Then on the instructions of the UN Secretary, PM Modi talked to Russia-Ukraine and averted it.
Why is Modi’s role important?
Modi’s role will be important in ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Many countries including America believe that only India can stop the war between the two countries. Both Russia and Ukraine have invited PM Modi. Both countries had invited PM Modi to come after the Lok Sabha elections 2024. PM Modi last visited Russia in 2018. Now that the Lok Sabha elections are over. In such a situation, once again the eyes of the world are on Modi. No plan has been revealed yet as to whether Modi will go to Russia and Ukraine or not. However, Modi has been advocating ending the war through talks between Russia and Ukraine since the beginning. The good thing is that both Russia and Ukraine consider India to be neutral.
