Ukrainian Foreign Minister to Visit India: Seeking Support for Peace and Cooperation

Ukraine's Appeal to India

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has announced his upcoming visit to India. This visit highlights Ukraine's desire to strengthen relations with India and seek its support in the ongoing conflict against Russia.

India's Importance Recognized:

Ukraine acknowledges India's critical role in the war and its potential influence in resolving the conflict. India's stance on the Russian Federation, which involves ongoing oil purchases, indicates its importance to Ukraine.

Appeal for Peace Support:

Ukraine's primary request to India is to assist in ending the war. India's intervention, as previously demonstrated during concerns over Russia's potential use of nuclear weapons, is seen as a game-changer.

Student Return and Humanitarian Assistance:

Ukraine also seeks India's cooperation in encouraging Indian students who have returned from the country to resume their studies there. Additionally, Ukraine requests humanitarian assistance for its rebuilding efforts.

India's Balancing Act

India faces the challenge of balancing its relationship with Ukraine while maintaining its existing ties with Russia. It remains to be seen how India will respond to Ukraine's requests and how it will approach the Swiss Peace Summit, which excludes Russia.
