Russia- Ukraine Conflict /Indian Role To end It

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jayshankar held a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and both the leaders discussed recent development in the region, nuclear concerns and ways to end Russia's war on Ukraine.

Jaishankar met Kuleba on the sidelines of the ASEAN -India summit here in the Combodian capital.

"Pleasure to meet FM @DmytroKuleba of Ukraine. Our discussions covered recent developments in the conflict, the grain initiative and nuclear concerns"he tweeted.

Jaishankar's meeting with Kuleba came days after he went on a two-day visit to Russia and growing global concern over increasing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.

It was Jaishankar's first visit to Moscow after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February.

Jaishankar is accompanying Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar who is leading the Indian delegation to the ASEAN -India commemorative Summit here.

Ukrain Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba took to Twitter and said that he discussed bilateral cooperation and ways to end Russia's war on Ukraine. He emphasized that Russia must immediately cease deadly attack, withdraw all troops from Ukraine, and commit to peace. We also focused on global food security," Kuleba tweeted.

India has not yet condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it has been maintaining that the crises must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue. Since the Ukraine conflict began in February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a number of times.

During their bilateral meeting in October on the side-lines of the Shanghai cooperation Organization in the Uzbek city of Samarkand, Modi pressed Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine soon, saying "Today's era is not of war"even as he called for finding ways to address the global food and energy security crises.

In a phone conversation with Zelenskyy on October 4,Modi said there can be "no military solution "and that India is ready to contribute to any peace efforts.

India has also said the suspension of the Black Sea Grain initiative is expected to further exacerbate food security, and fuel and fertilizer supply challenges faced by the world, particularly in the global shortage.

Russia suspended the initiative after an attack on its ships in the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol in the Crimean peninsula.

The Black sea Grain Initiatives is the agreement on the resumption of Ukrainian grain export via the Black Sea amid the ongoing Russia-Ukrain war.
