India stands prepared to provide "any help" necessary to facilitate resolution of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said, reaffirming New Delhi's commitment to peace in the region.
Jaishankar, who has been actively engaged in diplomatic discussions on the matter, held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to brief him on recent conversations with Ukrainian officials. The meeting also focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation between India and Ukraine across various sectors.
The External Affairs Minister's overture reflects India's balanced approach to the geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe, as the country maintains diplomatic relations with both Russia and Ukraine. New Delhi has previously advocated for dialogue-based solutions and respect for international law in addressing the conflict.
Jaishankar's discussions underscore India's broader diplomatic strategy of engaging with key stakeholders to promote peace and stability. The engagement with Ukraine also highlights New Delhi's interest in deepening ties with Kyiv beyond the immediate conflict situation, with focus on economic and cultural cooperation.
India's readiness to assist comes as the international community continues efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the nearly two-year-old conflict that has caused significant humanitarian and economic challenges globally.
