Narendra Modi Narendra Modi likely to visit Ukraine next month: Reports
Indian PM Narendra Modi is likely to visit Ukraine on August 23, days after he went to Russia, media reports said.
He may meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to the conflict-hit nation.
This would be the Prime Minister's first visit to Ukraine since its war with Russia, reported India Today.
Modi and Zelenskyy last met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently reacted sharply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's brief visit to Russia and his interaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly mentioning the "hug" shared between the two leaders amid Moscow's war with Ukraine.
Zelenskky's post came after PM Modi met President Putin in Moscow and shared an embrace.
Visuals from their meeting showed the two leaders drinking tea on a terrace at Putin's home in Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow, and the Indian being driven around in a golf cart.
One photo in particular, where Modi is seen hugging Putin, has been widely shared online.
"It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world's largest democracy hug the world's most bloody criminal in Moscow on such a day..."the Ukraine President tweeted.
Following his meeting with Putin, Modi had said he had a productive discussion with the Russian President.
