India & the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday said he had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help bring the ongoing Russian military campaign to an end. The acknowledgement of the conversation came shortly after India began the process of evacuating 694 students who were stranded in Sumy in eastern Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict on February 24.
“Lately I have spoken to leaders in Europe and with Indian Prime Minister Modi and asked them to bring this war to an end but words are not enough and action is necessary,” said Mr. Zelenskyy. The reference to Mr. Modi came a day after the two leaders spoke over phone when the Prime Minister urged Ukrainian cooperation in ensuring evacuation of around 694 Indian students in Sumy.
