Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping played a crucial role in persuading Russian President Vladimir Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. According to Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister, Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, Putin initially resisted Western warnings but was influenced by phone calls from Modi and Xi. Both leaders emphasized that their countries did not support the use of nuclear weapons, prompting Putin to reconsider. This diplomatic intervention highlights the significant influence of India and China in global affairs, particularly in preventing nuclear escalation.
