Modi visits Ukraine in August 

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Kyiv next month for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, sources have said.

This comes a month after Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy.

The two leaders were seen sharing a hug as they met.

On the day Modi secured a third term after the Lok Sabhal elections, Zelensky had congratulated him and invited him to visit the war-torn country.

In a phone call with President Zelenskyy in March this year, Modi discussed ways to strengthen India-Ukraine partnership and reiterated the nation's people-centric approach and calls for dialogue and diplomacy for the resolution of the ongoing conflict.
