Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Kyiv to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, weeks after his visit to Moscow. PM Modi’s visit comes amid the tumultuous situation in Ukraine and Russia due to the ongoing war between the two nations. During his talks with Zelenskyy, PM Modi stated that though India has always stayed away from war, it does not mean that the country was neutral.
“India was never neutral. Right from the first day we have always been on the side of peace,” PM Modi said.
