India's Efforts at Peacemaking
India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval's meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese officials reflect India's attempt to mediate between Russia and Ukraine.
Upcoming BRICS summit will bring together leaders from key countries, including India and China, potentially influencing peace discussions.
India is considering a more active role in peacemaking, as suggested by Doval's comments about briefing Putin on India's Ukraine visit.
Potential Challenges and Limitations
Effective mediation requires extensive goodwill and patience, and India needs to navigate entrenched positions from both Russia and Ukraine.
Several peace proposals from other nations and groups already exist, adding complexity to India's efforts.
The situation remains volatile with frequent escalations, such as recent military actions and disputes, which complicate mediation efforts
India's efforts should be mindful of realistic goals given the conflict's complexity and the involvement of other international actors.
