Russia will welcome India’s efforts toward peaceful resolution of Ukraine conflict: Peskov

Russia has expressed willingness to welcome India's efforts towards a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict. This comes as Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced that President Putin will meet with Indian Prime Minister Modi on the sidelines of the BRICS summit on Friday.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, at least five people were killed and 63 others injured in Russian attacks over the past day, according to local authorities. The attacks, which occurred on September 8, marked the end of a brief pause in strikes that had been in place during a recent visit by US envoys to Moscow and Kyiv.

The conflict in Ukraine continues, with Kyiv and Odesa Oblast among the main targets of a large-scale Russian missile and drone attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that air defenses had downed or suppressed multiple missiles and drones, but noted that ballistic missiles remain a challenge, and Ukraine continues to seek interceptors from its partners.
