Kyiv invited the Indian leader for trip in which the two countries will sign multiple co-operation documents a month after Modi visited Moscow while Russian missiles struck across Ukraine
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shake hands during the G7 leaders' summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 20, 2023.Modi will visit Ukraine on Zelensky’s invitation on Friday, Tanmaya Lal, a senior official at the Ministry of External Affairs, said at a briefing in New Delhi. He said the visit will provide an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss co-operation in defence, economic and business ties, science and technology and other sectors.
“Be it war, a struggle or a terrorist attack, every person who believes in humanity, when there is loss of life, he is pained,” Modi said then. “When innocent children are killed, when we see innocent children dying, then the heart pains. And that pain is very horrible.” India has also become a key buyer of Russian oil following sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies that shut most Western markets off to Russian exports. India now gets more than 40% of its oil imports from Russia, according to analysts.
Modi and Zelensky last met in June on the sidelines of the Group of Seven meeting in Italy. The two leaders have also spoken several times by phone since the start of the war.
