In a historic move, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. This visit marks the first time an Indian Prime Minister has set foot in Ukraine since the country gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Modi's arrival comes after completing a two-day visit to Poland.
Upon reaching Kyiv, Modi was warmly welcomed by the Indian community residing in the city. He will be staying at a hotel in Kyiv and is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This visit is seen as a significant diplomatic gesture amidst the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Modi traveled to Kyiv via the Rail Fonz OneĀ train from Poland, a journey that took approximately 10 hours. Just six months ago, Modi visited Russia, and now his visit to Ukraine underscores India's balancing act in the complex geopolitical landscape. Modi emphasized that the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia is a matter of grave concern and that he intends to advocate for peace and diplomacy during his discussions with Ukrainian leaders.
