Prime Minister Narendra Modi made history with his first visit to Ukraine, marking a significant moment in India-Ukraine relations. In Kyiv, Modi met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and offered India’s support in seeking peace amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
This visit, the first by an Indian prime minister since diplomatic ties were established in 1992, comes at a critical time as the war in Ukraine continues. Modi’s trip, following his recent visit to Moscow, signals India’s potential role in balancing relations between Ukraine and Russia.
Modi and Zelensky paid tribute to the Ukrainian children who lost their lives in the conflict, highlighting the humanitarian impact of the war. Analysts suggest that this visit could enhance India’s diplomatic influence and strengthen its position as a neutral party in global affairs.
Ukrainian officials view Modi’s visit as a diplomatic breakthrough, hopeful that India might help increase pressure on Russia and garner more support for Ukraine from other nations.
