Kyiv: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was warmly received with a hug by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Martyrologist Exposition in Kyiv on Friday.
PM Modi hugged Zelenskyy and had his hand on his shoulder, as the Ukrainian President turned visibly emotional as they honoured the memory of fallen children at the Martyrologist Exposition at the Ukrainian capital ahead of their high-level talks, where all eyes would on Modi’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.
This is the first such high-level visit from India since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and comes over a month after Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin, a visit criticised by Zelenskyy. The Prime Minister disembarked from the Train Force One in Kyiv after a 10-hour train journey from Poland and greeted Ukrainian officials and the Indian diaspora.
