Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be travelling to Kyiv in August, his first visit since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 24, 2022, sources said.

July saw high-level exchanges between the two nations with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and his Ukraine counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and NSA Ajit Doval and his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Yermak holding telephonic talks.

EAM Jaishankar, on his social media platform X, had shared that he spoke about furthering the bilateral relationship between the two nations.

PM Modi met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in June on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy.

On June 4, when PM Modi recorded the third straight victory in the general elections, Zelensky congratulated him and invited him to visit the war-ravaged country.

In a telephone conversation with Zelensky in March, PM Modi discussed ways to strengthen India-Ukraine partnership.

While reiterating the nation’s people-centric approach, PM Modi had assured Zelensky that India would continue to do everything within its means to support a peaceful solution.

PM Modi, during his two-day Moscow visit earlier this month, stressed, “There is no solution on the battlefield. Dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward.”

The Prime Minister said India has always called for respecting the United Nations Charter, including territorial integrity and sovereignty.
