Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he had arrived in New Delhi on Thursday to advance Kyiv’s vision of the path to peace in Ukraine and to strengthen ties with India.
In a post on X, Kuleba said, “Building on the dialogue between (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy) and (Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi), we will pay specific attention to the peace formula”.
Ukraine hopes to hold a summit of world leaders without Russian participation in the coming months to advance its blueprint for peace, a “formula” that calls among other things for the withdrawal of Russian troops from its territory.
Russia has dismissed the Ukrainian diplomatic initiative as a non-starter.
Meanwhile, Prime Ministers Modi held separate phone calls last week with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of Kuleba’s visit.
