Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Ukraine on Friday is likely to be closely watched by New Delhi’s longstanding ally, Russia.

The trip comes as India looks to navigate alliances with arch enemies Russia and the West, as one of the few countries to have robust trading and diplomatic relations with both parties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 set off heightened global tensions, sanctions and animosity toward the Kremlin.

I think Russia needs India more than India needs Russia so I don’t think Modi will be too buttoned up. That said, I don’t think he’ll have much of an actual peace plan either.

There is a lot besides an actual peace plan Modi can be usefull for. For example Ukraine captured a lot of Russians in Kursk and Russia still has Ukraninans from the beginning of the war. A prisoner exchange would be usefull for both sites. Also just getting an idea what Russia is willing to do for peace is at least intressting. If their proposal is somewhat serious, then they might run out will to fight.
