New Delhi: Defence Minister of Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday briefed his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh about the ongoing situation in Ukraine.

The two ministers discussed bilateral defence cooperation as well as the deteriorating situation in Ukraine during their telephonic conversation.

"Defence Minister Shoigu briefed the Raksha Mantri on the evolving situation in Ukraine, including his concerns about possible provocations through use of ‘dirty bomb’," read a statement issued by the Indian govvernment.

Rajnath Singh reiterated India's position on the need to pursue the path of dialogue and diplomacy for an early resolution of the conflict.
