PM Modi will reach Ukraine by special train
The war between Ukraine and Russia has been going on since February 2022. For the last two weeks, there has been news of new fronts opening between their armies on the border of Ukraine and Russia. There are also reports of attacks by the Russian Air Force in the areas around Kyiv. International flights to Kyiv have been stopped due to security reasons.
US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have already visited Ukraine by the same train by which PM Modi will reach Kyiv. The Indian Foreign Ministry has termed Modi's future visit to Ukraine as historic.
Has also visited Russia
All the global leaders who have visited Kyiv since the start of the war are partners of Ukraine and opponents of Russia. Modi will be the first global leader who also has friendly relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Modi went to Moscow on July 09-10, 2024, where he spent five hours at Putin's private residence. Ukrainian President Zelensky and the US State Department and NSA had also expressed great displeasure over this.
