PM Modi, who has consistently called for an end to the war through dialogue since the conflict began in 2022, stressed that India is ready to make proactive contributions towards global peace efforts. “India was never neutral in this war; we side with peace,” Modi asserted, reinforcing India’s commitment to global stability.

Zelenskyy’s Appeal to India

President Zelenskyy, on the other hand, urged India to take a firmer stand against Russia, asking New Delhi not to do a “balancing act.” He emphasized that the conflict is more than just a war—it is a battle against aggression led by Russian President Vladimir Putin. “India has a significant influence and can play a crucial role in halting Putin’s economy and aggression,” Zelenskyy said.

Strengthening Bilateral Ties

The visit also witnessed the signing of four agreements between India and Ukraine, focusing on cooperation in agriculture, medicine, culture, and humanitarian assistance. This move is seen as a step towards strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing mutual cooperation in various sectors.

Criticism and Controversies

PM Modi’s visit to Ukraine followed his high-profile trip to Moscow, where he held extensive talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This visit drew criticism from the West, which called on Modi to condemn Moscow’s aggression in Ukraine. However, India maintained its neutral stance, balancing its ties with both Russia and Ukraine.

Despite the criticism, Modi emphasized that India’s trade with Russia, which included importing crude oil at a discount, was crucial for New Delhi’s energy needs. Meanwhile, India extended its help to Ukraine by providing essential medicines and support, further showcasing its balanced approach to the conflict.

Conclusion

PM Modi’s visit to Ukraine underscores India’s commitment to global peace and diplomacy. While maintaining friendly ties with both Russia and Ukraine, India continues to play a crucial role in advocating for dialogue and peaceful resolution in the ongoing conflict. As the world watches, India’s stance in this geopolitical landscape remains a significant factor in shaping the future of the Russia-Ukraine war.
