Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO summit in Bishkek that 'every day of war sets humanity back,' urging a shift 'from endless war to end of war.' The exchange echoes a similar call made by Kazakhstan's president to Putin in July, which the Kremlin dismissed by saying a freeze 'is not possible' until Russia achieves its goals.

Modi said India would continue supporting peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, positioning New Delhi as a diplomatic bridge even as it maintains close ties with Moscow.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Telling the man conducting a war of choice that wars should end is diplomatically tidy and functionally weightless, especially when his own spokesman has already said the war continues until Russia gets what it wants. Peace summits work better when at least one attendee isn't also the invasion.
