Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a significant diplomatic journey next month. His destination? Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. This visit holds immense importance as it marks Modi’s first trip to the war-torn country since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022.
The visit, still in the planning stages, is expected to take place in the third week of August, possibly around Ukraine’s Independence Day on August 24. Diplomatic sources reveal that during this visit, Modi will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The timing couldn’t be more crucial, given renewed global efforts to bring peace to this Eastern European nation.
While there’s no official confirmation yet from either India or Ukraine, preparations are underway. Logistics and related arrangements will be massive, reflecting the significance of this diplomatic engagement.
Previously, Modi and Zelensky had a productive meeting during the G7 Summit in Italy. India consistently advocates for dialogue and diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, emphasizing a peaceful resolution. As the world watches, Modi’s visit to Ukraine promises to be a pivotal moment in international relations.
