India’s Narendra Modi arrived in wartime Kyiv on Friday (August 23) to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Reuters reports. This is the first trip by an Indian prime minister to Ukraine since Kyiv gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The visit comes at a volatile juncture in the war in Ukraine, with Ukrainian forces still in Russia's western Kursk region following their incursion on August 6 and Russian troops grinding out slow but steady advances in Ukraine’s east. In the run-up to the trip, Modi said he was looking forward to sharing "perspectives on peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict”.
