PM Modi speaks with Zelenskyy

New Delhi, Aug 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing recent developments in the ongoing conflict. In a post on X, Modi said: “Glad to speak with President Zelenskyy and hear his perspectives on recent developments.

I conveyed India’s consistent position on the need for an early and peaceful resolution of the conflict. India remains committed to making every possible contribution in this regard, as well as to further strengthening bilateral ties with Ukraine.”

Last week, on 8 August, Modi also held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who briefed him on the latest situation in Ukraine. Modi reiterated India’s position favouring a peaceful resolution and reviewed bilateral cooperation, with both leaders committing to deepen the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia. Putin and US President Donald Trump are scheduled to meet on 15 August in Alaska, and there is speculation that Ukraine’s president may also be invited for discussions on the conflict.
