India Holds Russia-Ukraine Talks on Black Sea Shipping

India is holding talks with Russia and Ukraine on restoring safe navigation in the Black Sea as it seeks to facilitate grain and energy exports and to take a more active role in efforts to end the war, according to reports. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said New Delhi had moved beyond publicly calling for peace and had begun direct discussions with both sides, stating that the ongoing discussions also cover grain and energy exports and what he described as "non-attack possibilities."

Jaishankar's remarks represent one of New Delhi's clearest public acknowledgments that it is directly engaging both sides in efforts to negotiate limited arrangements related to the war.
