Poland has highlighted India's growing diplomatic influence, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin closely listens to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's views on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Polish Secretary of State Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski described India as a "very important international player", noting its credibility stems from not being perceived as hostile towards Russia. He said India's voice carries significant weight in efforts to prevent further escalation as the war continues without a clear resolution. The remarks underscore New Delhi's increasingly prominent role in global diplomacy, with India maintaining engagement with both Moscow and Western partners while consistently advocating dialogue, diplomacy and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
