Not only the role of "postmen": Ukraine wants India to "moderated" negotiations with the Russian Federation - Ambassador

Ambassador of Ukraine Oleksandr Polishchuk noted that India should use its ties to persuade the Russian Federation to join the peace talks and continue to play an active role in them. Ukraine wants India to play a more active role in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia and "moderated" negotiations between two warring countries. About it reports Bloomber with reference to Ambassador of Ukraine to India Alexander Polishchuk.

He noted that India should not be satisfied with the role of "postman, which transmits a message between Ukraine and Russia", but play a more "active role". The country should use its relations with the Russian Federation to persuade Moscow to join peace talks. "If India seeks to get a permanent place in the UN Security Council to its advantage, it sets a too low bar," Polishchuk said. Ukraine proposed India to hold a peaceful summit until November 2024, aimed at terminating the conflict.

It is not known by this time whether the country will agree. We will remind, on Friday, August 23, for the first time in the history of bilateral relations, Ukraine was visited by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Within the framework of the visit between the countries, agreements on cooperation in medical, agrarian, humanitarian and cultural spheres have been agreed.

In addition, a joint statement on the construction of a strategic partnership between our countries, trade between our countries and military-technical cooperation was prepared. After that, according to the Prime Minister of India and the President of the Russian Federation, Narendra Modi spoke with the phone with Vladimir Putin. They discussed measures to further strengthen the special and privileged strategic partnership.
