At a summit in Bishkek, Indian Prime Minister Modi appealed directly to Putin to end a war he called a step backward for humanity with every passing day — yet even as those words were spoken, Russian drones were completing their sixth consecutive night of strikes over Kyiv, killing at least four people and deepening a crisis that now threatens schools, nuclear infrastructure, and the very texture of civilian life. The exchange captured something essential about this moment in history: the gap between moral urgency and political will, between the language of conscience and the logic of war.
