Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kyiv next month for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, sources said.
This comes a month after PM Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy.
On the day, PM Modi won a third term after the Lok Sabhal elections, Zelensky had congratulated him and invited him to visit his country.
In a phone call with President Zelenskyy in March this year, PM Modi talked about how to strengthen India-Ukraine partnership and reiterated the nation's people-centric approach and urged for diplomacy for the resolution of the ongoing conflict.
The Prime Minister reiterated India would continue to do everything within its means to support a peaceful solution.
PM Modi, during his meeting with President Putin, urged for a non-violence approach by saying, "India has always called for respecting the United Nations Charter, including territorial integrity and sovereignty. There is no solution on the battlefield. Dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward.
