"We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace," Modi said.
Modi is paying the first visit to Ukraine by an Indian prime minister.
As he pushed for a way forward on ending the Ukraine war, Modi urged Zelensky to sit down for talks with Russia and offered to act as a "friend" to help bring peace.

"No problem can be resolved on a battlefield," Modi said in Poland on Wednesday before heading to Ukraine.

“We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace,” Modi said.
that is definitely NOT taking a side lol.
“No problem can be resolved on a battlefield”
unless your opponent is not negotiating in good faith, or refuses to negotiate at all.
- that is definitely NOT taking a side lol.
  Under the current circumstances, the only moral position is to support peace. Once a peace - or at least a ceasefire - is achieved, Russia, Ukraine and the separatist regions may be able to negotiate a settlement and those who started the war might even be exposed and punished. But if the fighting continues, thousands of random people will die needlessly.
