India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has made a historic visit to Ukraine.
The visit is the first to be paid by an Indian prime minister since Ukraine became independent in 1991.
When Modi met Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, he told him he was ready to play a role “as a friend” in bringing peace to Ukraine. He told the president that the road to peace can only come “through dialogue and diplomacy. And we should move in that erection without wasting any time. Both sides should sit together to find a way out of this crisis.”
Zelensky said, “History has been made” because “India supports Ukraine’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Meanwhile, Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to the United States, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had formulated a response to the Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk Region.
Russia has accused Ukraine of trying to attack the Kursk nuclear power station. The Russian news agency, TASS, cited an unnamed source as saying a drone was shot down near a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.
