You have a big influence and you can stop Putin and halt his economy, and put him really in his place.”
The Ukranian President was echoing the strong message of peace given by PM Narendra Modi during his bilateral meeting with him at the Mariinskyi Palace.
PM Narendra Modi had told Zelenskyy that dialogue was the only solution to the conflict in Ukraine. “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.
“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,” PM Modi had told Zelenskyy.
