Driving home a strong message of peace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that both Ukraine and Russia should sit together without wasting time to find ways to end the ongoing war and that India was on the side of peace since the beginning of the conflict.
In his talks with Zelenskyy in Kyiv that took place under the shadow of the raging war, Modi said India is ever ready to play an "active role" in every effort to restore peace in Ukraine and he would even like to contribute personally in ending the conflict.
Speaking to Ukraine President Vlodimir Zelenskyy at the Mariinyskysi Palace PM Modi said India had always been on the side of peace. "India was never neutral, we have always been on the side of peace," PM Modi told Zelenskyy in their bilateral meeting.
The PM further said that India was ready to play an active role in the path to peace and progress.
"We have come from the land of Mahatma Gandhi who had given a message of peace to the entire world," he said. PM Modi conveyed to Zelenskyy that he had come to Kyiv with a message of peace, including from the Global South.
"People from other countries also know that India has actively planned peace efforts and you also know that our approach has been people-centric. I want to assure you and the entire world that this is India's commitment and we believe that respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is of utmost importance to us and we support it. Some time back, when I met President Putin in support of this, I had told him that this was not the time for war.
