Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the phone with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday and repeated that the conflict must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, the Prime Minister's Office said.
Zelenskyy gave his view of recent developments in the conflict. Modi reaffirmed India's "human-centric approach" and its "consistent position" and said India is ready to contribute to all efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution.
The two leaders also discussed ways to strengthen India–Ukraine cooperation in various sectors for the benefit of both peoples.
The release does not say who initiated the call or give details of the developments Zelenskyy described.
Why it matters
India has said throughout the conflict that it supports a peaceful settlement through talks, and Monday's call restates that position to Kyiv directly. The Prime Minister's Office describes the approach as "human-centric", but the release does not spell out any specific proposal, offer of assistance or new agreement.
What is not in the release
The statement does not say how long the call lasted, who placed it, or which recent developments in the conflict President Zelenskyy raised. It also does not name the sectors in which the two leaders want to expand bilateral cooperation. BDT will report any further detail the Prime Minister's Office or the Ukrainian side publishes.
