A prominent Russian journalist has called for dialogue between Russia and the United States to help end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, suggesting India as a suitable venue for such talks. Dmitry Kiselev, General Director of Sputnik News Agency, argues that India's neutral stance makes it an ideal location for discussions.

In an interview with ANI, Kiselev criticized talks between Russian and Ukrainian leaders, noting that Russia should engage with the US directly. He dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an 'illegitimate president' and emphasized the need for peace on Russian terms involving equal security for all.
