Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assures Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that India will do everything possible to find a resolution to the Ukraine conflict, which is an issue of humanity. Modi expressed concern at the conflict and the situation in Ukraine, as well as the severe impact on countries of the Global South, especially food, fuel and fertiliser insecurity. Modi held several bilateral meetings with world leaders in Hiroshima, though it was the one with Zelensky that attracted the most attention.
India will do everything possible to find a resolution to the Ukraine conflict, which is an issue of humanity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday during their first face-to-face meeting since the start of the war with Russia last year.
Zelensky, who sought the meeting with the Indian leader on the margins of the G7 Summit in the Japanese city of Hiroshima, briefed Modi about Ukraine’s peace formula and invited India to join in its implementation. He thanked India for supporting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.
Modi held several bilateral meetings with world leaders in Hiroshima, though it was the one with Zelensky that attracted the most attention. In April, Zelensky had sent his first deputy foreign minister Emine Dzhaparova to New Delhi with a message for Modi, seeking a greater Indian role in efforts to end the war and inviting the Indian premier to visit Kyiv.
Flanked by external affairs minister S Jaishankar and national security adviser Ajit Doval, Modi sat opposite Zelensky, who was clad in his trademark military uniform. In his televised opening remarks, Modi noted that the Ukraine war has impacted the world.
