PM Modi may visit Kyiv for the first time since Russian invasion.

NEW DELHI: Speculation is rife over Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelling to Kyiv, Ukraine a month from now in August.

Though it has not been confirmed officially by either the government or the Ukrainian officials in Delhi, it has not been denied either. It is possible that an announcement will be made closer to the day of the PM’s departure.

This will be PM Modi’s first visit to Ukraine since the conflict with Russia began on February 24th, 2022.

“When PM Modi visited Moscow earlier this month, he spoke about a peaceful resolution of the conflict and also expressed his grief over the death of children (following reports of a hospital attack in Kyiv). He reportedly also shared with President Vladimir Putin the likelihood of his visiting Ukraine subsequently,” according to a source.

However, it is common knowledge that India and Russia share strong historical ties and that this visit to Kyiv will have no impact on the bilateral ties between India and Russia.
