"You know that Mr. Modi has very, very constructive, even friendly relations with President Putin. And this allows Modi to really pursue a line of obtaining first-hand information from the participants in this conflict," Peskov told the Izvestia newspaper on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
Modi freely communicates with Moscow, Kiev and Washington, which gives India chance to use its global influence to encourage a peaceful settlement, but there are no prerequisites of this yet, the spokesman added.
There are no concrete plans for Modi's mediation in possible negotiations between Russia and Ukraine yet, Peskov concluded.
The Eastern Economic Forum began on Tuesday and will run through Friday. It is being hosted by the Far Eastern Federal University in Russia's Pacific coast city of Vladivostok. Sputnik is the general information partner of the EEF 2024.
