Here in Delhi, PM Modi says India and UK will try and seal an FTA by end of year. Also says diplomacy best way to end conflicts but no mention of Ukraine. No questions allowed from press either. Modi doesn’t do press conferences.

Apologies - Ukraine was explicitly mentioned by Narendra Modi in his statement alongside Boris Johnson. The Indian PM said ‘we emphasised an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and the use of dialogue and diplomacy for resolving the issue’. No mention of Russia though.
