This was the first time an Indian Prime Minister visited Ukraine after independence. War has been going on between Russia and Ukraine for two years. Before Ukraine, when PM Modi visited Russia, there too he had talked about taking diplomatic recourse to solve this problem.
PM Modi had also told Putin that this is not the time for war. He told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “We were not neutral from day one, we have taken a side, and we stand firmly for peace.” Despite the formation of the interim government, attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh have not stopped.
