India's Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, announced that the country is taking a more direct role in efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, engaging both sides on issues such as shipping and reducing hostilities.

The divergence in coverage is minimal, with both sources highlighting the same key points from Jaishankar's remarks.
