France's Macron, India's Modi meet in Paris
STORY: The two leaders were set to go over Indian dependence on Russian gas, oil and armament, and to discuss alternative options for the South Asian country.
Modi had already called for a ceasefire in Ukraine and peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow while in Copenhagen on Tuesday.
India has so far refrained from explicitly condemning Russia's invasion while calling for an immediate end to violence. Moscow calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation".
The Indian PM's visit to the French capital concludes his three-day European tour which led him to meet with German chancellor Olaf Scholz and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen, in addition to Macron.
