India's Narendra Modi is set to visit wartime Kyiv for talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, the first trip by an Indian prime minister to Ukraine since Kyiv gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
“I look forward to the opportunity to ... share perspectives on peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict,“ Modi said before the trip. “As a friend and partner, we hope for an early return of peace and stability in the region.” Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser in the Ukrainian president's office, told Reuters Modi's visit to Kyiv was significant because New Delhi “really has a certain influence” over Moscow.
But it has also strengthened its economic ties with Moscow after Western nations imposed sanctions on Russia and cut trade relations with it over its invasion. “Lasting peace can only be achieved through options that are acceptable to both parties. And it can only be a negotiated settlement,“ Tanmaya Lal, Secretary in the Indian foreign ministry, told reporters.
For there to be an attempt to negotiate, the military situation has to stabilise and the presidential election must be held in the United States, a close ally of Ukraine, he said.
