Speaking on humanitarian aid given by India, Doval emphasised that India is providing both humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and economic assistance to its neighbours in Global South, the agency added. "India’s approach has been and always will be to promote dialogue and diplomacy. This is the only way forward for peace," he said, ANI stated citing sources.

NSA also highlighted how the situation can be handled and said, "...the meeting confronts a two-fold challenge - resolution of the situation and softening the consequences of the conflict. Efforts must be directed on both fronts simultaneously and much more groundwork is needed to ensure this. Currently, several peace proposals have been put forward. Each has some positive points but none is acceptable to both sides. The key question that needs to be addressed in this meeting is whether a solution that is acceptable to all relevant stakeholders can be found."
