Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed gratitude to global leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for their efforts to mediate peace in Ukraine. Speaking on March 13, Putin acknowledged their "noble mission" and emphasized that any ceasefire must address the root causes of the conflict. His remarks follow a 30-day temporary truce proposal backed by the U.S. and Ukraine during talks in Saudi Arabia. Putin reiterated Russia's stance on achieving a lasting peace rather than a short-term pause. China, Brazil, and South Africa were also recognized for their diplomatic efforts.
