Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will kick off his two-nation visit on Wednesday with the trip to Ukraine likely to see discussions over politics, trade, education, and humanitarian assistance, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said. Modi will embark on a two-day tour of Poland, followed by a visit to the Ukrainian capital Kyiv to hold talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The day-long visit to Ukraine will be the first ever by an Indian PM since formal diplomatic relations were established in 1992 and will hold geopolitical heft as Modi renews his call for dialogue and a non-military solution to the ongoing war, sources said. Ukraine is currently in the middle of a strategic offensive into Russia's Kursk.
Modi's visit to Ukraine comes shortly after his visit to Russia in July. Back then, Zelenskyy had described the meeting as a "huge disappointment". Meanwhile, Modi and Zelenskyy had met only a couple of months ago in June on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) Summit in Italy. They had also met last year on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Japan.
