Modi spoke to both Russia and America after returning from Ukraine
After returning from his visit to Ukraine in August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone. He shared the experiences gained from his Ukraine visit and reiterated India’s commitment to a quick, permanent and peaceful solution to the conflict with Ukraine. Modi had informed US President Joe Biden about his Ukraine visit and expressed India’s full support for restoring peace in the region through dialogue and diplomacy. America stands with Ukraine and on the other side with Russia. America initially tried to get India to join it. Even when Modi visited Russia for the first time after the war in his third term, many Western countries also raised questions. But India’s stand did not change. India criticized the war. When Modi returns from Ukraine and shares his views, the trust in India increases even more.
Zelensky also trusts India
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has also said that India can play an important role in global diplomatic efforts to end the war between his country and Russia. Addressing Indian media persons after bilateral talks while Modi was on a visit to Ukraine, Zelensky said Modi’s visit is historic. Modi’s visit to Ukraine was the first by an Indian Prime Minister since Ukraine’s independence in 1991. The visit came six weeks after his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in July. Modi earlier told Zelensky that both Ukraine and Russia should sit together without wasting time to find ways to end the war. Modi said India has been in favour of peace since the beginning of the war in February 2022.
America also believes that India can play an important role
John Kirby, National Security Communications Advisor at the White House, the official residence of the US President, has said that the US welcomes any country that wants to try to help end the conflict in Ukraine. Kirby was asked a day earlier on Wednesday if he thinks India can play a role in ending the war. Kirby said, any country that is ready to help end this war and does so keeping in mind the privileges of President Volodymyr Zelensky, the privileges of the Ukrainian people, his plan for establishing a just peace, we will certainly welcome its role. When asked if he thinks India can play a role in establishing peace, the White House official said, we certainly hope so.
