MOSCOW, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that the war in Ukraine needed to end for humanity's sake and that New Delhi would support every peace effort to stop the fighting.
Modi, who made his comments at the start of talks with Putin in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, called Putin "my friend" and hailed growing economic ties between the two countries which he said were guided by the need to put the interests of both nations above all else.
India, along with China, is one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil, which has helped Moscow replenish its budget since it sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022 and was hit with sweeping Western sanctions.
"As you are aware, India supports all peace efforts in this regard, and we shall continue to do so in the future," Modi told Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, according to a Kremlin transcript of their exchange.
"Every day that the war continues, humanity is, in effect, set back a step, whilst every step towards peace gives all of humanity real hope for peace. We need to move from endless war to an end to the war, to a cessation of hostilities. And we will need to move precisely in this direction," said Modi who has said before that he wants a peace settlement for Ukraine.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that parents should get their children vaccinated against measles, as the United States records its highest number of cases in 35 years.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," Kennedy was asked by host Dana Bash, with the school year approaching, whether he would tell parents who have not vaccinated their children that they should do so because the vaccine is safe.
"We tell people ... that parents should get their children vaccinated for measles," Kennedy said. "A measles vaccine is effective. It stops measles in about 97% of the cases. People should get vaccinated."
Kennedy also said, "I've never questioned the efficacy of the MMR vaccine."
Kennedy is a longtime critic of vaccine policy who founded Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine advocacy group. He has generally acknowledged that the MMR vaccine prevents measles but has repeatedly raised concerns about vaccine safety and has said the decision to vaccinate should be a personal one.
