India shifts to active peacemaking in Ukraine war

India is moving from passive advocacy to active peacemaking in the Ukraine war, following attacks on an Indian-owned factory and US tariff threats. India is in talks with both Moscow and Kyiv on issues including the safety of Black Sea shipping, grain and energy exports.

Why it matters. India's active peacemaking role could influence the conflict and its economic interests in the region, particularly with its significant imports of Russian oil.
