  "account": "India's role at the BRICS summit is to keep the Ukraine peace process moving forward. Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly reiterated his offer to end the war in Ukraine when he met President Vladimir Putin in Bishkek. The US has recently sent envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Moscow and Kyiv with similar messages and fresh peace proposals. Despite the guns falling silent for a brief moment, the conflict has seen continuous escalation for over four-and-a-half years. The American peace initiative has regained momentum with the return of US President Donald Trump to the Ukraine file. A trilateral peace plan featuring Trump, Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may be possible, although significant gaps remain in positions on territory and security guarantees. India, as the current BRICS chair, can keep the peace process moving by steering a summit declaration that reflects the reality of these conflicts and promotes a collective call for peace.",
