Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday held a telephone conversation today with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The two leaders discussed ways to further strengthen India-Ukraine partnership in various spheres.
While discussing the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the PM reiterated India’s people-centric approach and called for dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward. He highlighted that India supports all efforts for an early and peaceful resolution of all issues between the Parties. He added that India would continue to do everything within its means to support a peaceful solution.
President Zelenskyy appreciated India’s continued humanitarian assistance for the people of Ukraine. The two leaders agreed to remain in touch.
Earlier in the day, Modi congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election as the President of the Russian Federation and agreed to work together to deepen the strategic partnership between the two countries.
“Spoke with President Putin and congratulated him on his re-election as the President of the Russian Federation. We agreed to work together to further deepen and expand the India-Russia Special & Privileged Strategic Partnership in the years ahead,” Modi said in a post on X.
This call came days after Putin secured an unprecedented fifth term as president of Russia on Monday, as the election commission announced the results of a vote in which he faced no serious challenges. Putin claimed his overwhelming margin was proof that Russians had placed their “trust” and “hopes” in him, while politicians across Europe and the US rejected the vote as a sham.
