Ukraine foreign minister Kuleba visits India

STORY: Kuleba, who was seen paying his respect at the memorial of the iconic Indian freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi, had written on social media platform X that he was "building on the dialogue" between the two nations.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held separate phone calls last week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of Kuleba's visit.

Ukraine hopes to hold a summit of world leaders without Russian participation in the coming months to advance its blueprint for peace, a "formula" that calls among other things for the withdrawal of Russian troops from its territory.
