India held high-level discussions with Russia and Ukraine ahead of a new round of US-brokered peace talks set to start Tuesday, November 10. After a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said India was ready to help mediate Black Sea food corridors, and said the call covered Russian attacks that have blocked grain exports. Deutsche Welle reports that Modi conveyed readiness to contribute to efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution. Bloomberg reports that India is seeking a more active role in efforts to end the war.
