"We are absolutely certain that the Ukrainian peace agreement should be taken as a basis because the war takes place on our land," Yermak told Al Jazeera.

India has consistently maintained that the Russia-Ukraine crisis must be handled via dialogue and diplomacy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also stated that "India is ready to do whatever it can for a peaceful resolution of the conflict."
