Russian President Vladimir Putin on 18 August phoned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to brief them on his 15 August summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska, according to readouts from New Delhi, Moscow and Brasília. India’s government said Putin shared his assessment of the Alaska talks and discussed bilateral cooperation. Modi reiterated India’s call for a peaceful resolution of the war in Ukraine and said he looked forward to continued engagement with Moscow. The Kremlin reported that Ramaphosa expressed support for diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine, while Lula reaffirmed Brazil’s backing for initiatives aimed at a lasting peace. All three leaders agreed to maintain close contact, underscoring the importance of the BRICS forum in international diplomacy. Putin’s outreach follows his nearly three-hour meeting with Trump at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, which ended without a formal agreement but produced a pledge to keep negotiating over security guarantees for Ukraine. The latest round of calls signals Moscow’s bid to rally emerging-market partners behind its position before further talks with Washington and Kyiv.
