It declared such districts as backward and turned away from its responsibility,» he said. He said many mothers lost their beloved sons and many sisters lost their brothers (in Maoist violence). «The indifference of erstwhile governments was like adding fuel to the fire.

The state has been grappling with ethnic violence since May 2023.

Putin's comments, during a visit to the northern port of Murmansk, come amid U.S. attempts to forge a settlement to the conflict by re-establishing links with Russia and engaging with both Moscow and Kyiv, in separate talks. The Kremlin leader has been accused by Ukraine and European leaders of trying to prolong ceasefire talks without any serious intent of stopping fighting. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has left hundreds of thousands of dead and injured, displaced millions of people, reduced towns to rubble and triggered the sharpest confrontation for decades between Moscow and the West.
