        U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan spoke to his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval on Friday, India said, just days after the U.S. raised concerns with New Delhi about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
        
        Sullivan and Doval "discussed a wide range of issues of bilateral, regional and international concern" during their phone conversation, India's foreign ministry said in a statement.
        
        The statement did not mention if they discussed Modi's two-day visit to Russia earlier this week. In Moscow, Modi told Putin that death of innocent children was painful, a day after a lethal strike at a children's hospital in Kyiv.
        
        Though India has not condemned Russia for its war in Ukraine, Modi also told Putin that a resolution can only be found through talks, and not on the battlefield.
