India’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Ajit Doval, will be visiting Moscow for two days on September 10 and 11 to engage in discussions aimed at resolving the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, according to sources. The visit underscores India’s expanding role as a mediator in the conflict that has severely impacted global stability for more than two-and-a-half years.

PM Modi’s Continued Push for Peace

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been actively involved in peace efforts, having visited both Russia and Ukraine in recent months. During his July visit to Russia, he emphasized to President Vladimir Putin that “this is not an era for war.” Similarly, in August, Modi traveled to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reaffirming India’s commitment to facilitating peace.

Modi also held a telephone discussion with Putin on August 27, during which it was reportedly agreed that India would send its NSA Ajit Doval to Moscow to further discussions on potential resolutions for the conflict.

Global Acknowledgment of India’s Role

President Putin has hinted at his openness to a peaceful resolution, identifying Brazil, China, and India as potential mediators. This sentiment has been echoed by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who endorsed India as a likely intermediary, reflecting India’s growing diplomatic influence on the global stage.

Escalating Casualties in the War

Despite international efforts, the conflict on the ground remains intense. According to estimates, the war has resulted in approximately 500,000 casualties, including both wounded and dead, as reported by The New York Times (NYT). U.S. officials have suggested that Russia may have suffered as many as 300,000 casualties, with 120,000 deaths, though Moscow is believed to be underreporting these figures. Ukrainian casualties are estimated to include 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

Previous Attempts at Negotiation

Earlier in the war, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Istanbul in an effort to reach a ceasefire, but the talks failed to yield significant progress. With new fronts opening and both sides escalating rhetoric, the conflict continues with no immediate resolution in sight.
