India is stepping up diplomatic efforts to help end the Russia-Ukraine war ahead of two-day peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, scheduled to begin in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday under US mediation.

On Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Following his conversation with Modi, Zelensky said in a post on X that they discussed Russia's blockade of Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea. He added that India was ready to mediate in establishing a food corridor.

Modi said he had reaffirmed India's strong commitment to contributing to a peaceful resolution through all possible means.

He described the conversation as productive, saying the two leaders reviewed their broad bilateral cooperation and agreed to strengthen India-Ukraine relations.

Zelensky said he had briefed Modi on the latest diplomatic developments and discussed possible steps India could take to help end the war.

He identified food security as a potential area for India's involvement, saying the blockade of sea routes was affecting the global economy and billions of people worldwide.

"We agreed that our teams will remain in contact on these and other bilateral issues," Zelensky said.

He also recalled that Modi had repeatedly urged Russia, including directly addressing its leadership, to end the war, saying the time had come to stop fighting.
