NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a diplomatic telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to official statements released by New Delhi on Wednesday. During the exchange, the Indian leadership reiterated its unwavering commitment to facilitating a diplomatic resolution to the protracted hostilities involving Russia and Ukraine.
Dialogue remains essential. That was the core message conveyed from South Block. Prime Minister Modi emphasized that New Delhi maintains a steadfast position centered on diplomacy, engagement, and strict respect for international law. Officials familiar with the communication confirmed that both leaders reviewed bilateral ties alongside the broader security situation in Europe.
Peace requires active participation. India is ready to assist. Prime Minister Modi explicitly stated New Delhi’s readiness to contribute constructively toward any credible framework aimed at restoring stability and ending the bloodshed. External affairs ministry representatives noted that humanitarian assistance delivered by India to Ukraine was also acknowledged during the discussion.
Kishore Kumar, senior diplomatic correspondent, reported that New Delhi has consistently avoided condemning Moscow outright while simultaneously advocating for the territorial integrity of sovereign states. Balancing these strategic ties defines current South Block foreign policy.
Further high-level diplomatic contacts remain scheduled for the upcoming month as European envoys prepare to visit the national capital for bilateral trade consultations.
