Ukraine Foreign Minister urges PM Modi to talk Vladimir Putin to stop the war

Ukraine Foreign Minister urges PM Modi to talk Vladimir Putin to stop the war. 

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reach out to Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the invasion of his country that has been going on for a long time now, on Saturday.

Making a point to look at the “countries that have good relationships with India can ask President Putin to help them, Kuleba told Zee Media when they asked about this. 

So we want Indian PM Modi to keep talking to President Putin and telling him that this war is terrible for everyone.”

There have been two talks between Prime Minister Modi and President Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, and they have talked both times.

In his first conversation with Prime Minister Modi on February 24, he asked for an end to violence and talked to start again.

There has been a lot of talk about keeping Indian citizens safe. Still, PM Modi has also talked about “honest and sincere dialogue.”

Foreign Minister: The Ukraine Foreign Minister also said that the invasion hurt the global agriculture market, including exports to India.

“Take into account that India is a big buyer for Ukrainian agriculture products, and if this war goes on for too long, it will be hard for us to plant new crops and then pick them up. So the best thing to do for both the world’s food security and Indian food security stops this war,” he made a point of.

India buys a lot of sunflower oil from eastern Europe, which is expected to be struck by the ongoing fights there.

“Pressure can be put on the Russian embassy in India by ordinary Indians. They can ask them again to stop the war. Ukraine doesn’t need to fight this war, “Kuleba added to the list of things to do.

Asked about the evacuation of people from several countries, he said, “I don’t know.” 

“To make it easier for foreign students to leave Kharkiv, Sumy, and Ukraine, we set up a hotline that they can call. We also set up some trains for them. As a group, we work closely with the embassies of the countries where we want to do good work.”

When he spoke, he also asked the governments of countries like India and China that have students in Sumy and Kharkiv to stop the fire by contacting Moscow.

“They try to win the sympathy of the countries I mentioned by accusing Ukraine of keeping foreign students as hostages, violating their rights, and decimating them,” he said. 

“But I would like to repeat one thing, for 30 years, Ukraine was home to your students, and it still is home for them, even under fire from Russia.”
