PM Modi’s Role in Preventing Nuclear Escalation
Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for persuading Russian President Vladimir Putin not to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Speaking to ANI, Bartoszewski explained that despite pressure from the United States, Putin initially resisted but reconsidered after receiving calls from PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
