Background

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Ukraine, a month after he visited Russia for talks with President Putin. The trip to Kyiv is the first by an Indian leader in three decades, and it comes as the war in Ukraine continues. New Delhi has not publicly condemned Russia’s invasion but Prime Minister Modi expressed deep concern over the conflict. He said India is ready to extend ‘all possible cooperation’ to restore peace.
