India has officially submitted a three-point ceasefire proposal to both Russia and Ukraine, marking New Delhi’s first formal step as a direct mediator in the four-and-a-half-year-old armed conflict.
The proposal was presented following External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s diplomatic visit to Kyiv in early September, where he held extensive talks with Ukrainian leadership before engaging in follow-up discussions with Russian officials. India’s three-point peace framework focuses on three crucial areas: (a) immediate cessation of attacks on energy facilities and critical infrastructure, (b) unhindered export of grain and energy through Black Sea ports, and (c) an absolute halt to military strikes targeting commercial shipping vessels in the Black Sea. Unlike earlier proposals by Egypt, Turkey, or the United States—which focused strictly on maritime grain transit or energy grid truces individually—India's integrated package has been hailed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha as the most comprehensive ceasefire initiative currently under evaluation.
