PM reiterates peaceful resolution of Russia-Ukraine conflict

New Delhi, Aug 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to arrive in Kyiv on Friday, an important diplomatic visit amid ongoing conflicts between Ukraine and Russia.

On the eve of his departure, Prime Minister Modi will board a train from Poland this evening, embarking on a journey that is expected to take around 10 hours.

Ahead of his visit, Prime Minister Modi reiterated India’s stance that solutions to conflicts cannot be achieved through warfare, stressing the importance of dialogue and cooperation.

“The ongoing conflict in Ukraine and West Asia is a matter of deep concern for all of us,” Modi said. “India firmly believes that no problem can be solved on the battlefield. The loss of innocent lives in any crisis has become the biggest challenge for the entire humanity. We support dialogue and diplomacy for the early restoration of peace and stability. For this, India is ready to provide all possible cooperation along with its friendly countries.”

In a separate message shared on X, Modi highlighted India’s proactive approach in addressing global challenges, stating, “India is working at unparalleled speed, scale, and providing solutions to various challenges.”

His journey to the Ukrainian capital, more so after visit to Russia last month is expected to focus on discussions aimed at fostering peace and exploring avenues for diplomatic engagement.

The international community will be watching closely to see how India’s diplomatic efforts contribute to easing tensions and advancing the cause of much-needed peace in the region and if necessary to see India as a mediator between the two warring nations.
