Modi Urges Zelenskiy for Peace Talks to Resolve Ukraine War

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv, urging peace talks with Russia to end the war. Modi, during his historic visit, offered India's support as a mediator. Zelenskiy appreciated Modi's tribute to victims of a missile strike but maintained that Ukraine seeks peace on its own terms.

In a significant diplomatic move, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to engage in peace talks with Russia to end the ongoing conflict. His historic visit to Kyiv marks the first by an Indian leader in modern times.

Modi's appeal for dialogue was echoed in his previous visit to Moscow, where he called for peace alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. Modi assured Zelenskiy that India is ready to play an active role in peace efforts, expressing his commitment to aiding as a trusted friend.

Zelenskiy responded by emphasizing Ukraine's adherence to international law and its sovereignty while appreciating Modi's homage to children killed in a recent missile strike. The meeting underlined divergent perspectives on achieving peace, with Ukraine insisting on conditions favorable to its interests.
