Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop war in Ukraine. He said that this war is not in interest of any country and Ukraine has an important role to play in India’s food security.
Dmytro Kuleba said, “India’s one of the top consumers of Ukraine’s agricultural products and if the war continues it will get difficult for Ukraine.” He stated that Ukraine plays an important role in ensuring food security around the globe and this war will damage that ecosystem.
He also told PM Narendra Modi that he has arranged trains for stranded foreign students from Kharkiv and Sumy. Kuleba said, “Putin doesn’t recognize our right to exist. Ordinary Indians can also put pressure on the Russian embassy to stop the war.”
Kuleba has accused Valdimir Putin of violating ceasefire agreements and urged it to allow a safe passage to civilians including stranded Indian students. He said, “For 30 years, Ukraine was a welcoming home for thousands of students from Asia, Africa to facilitate their movements, Ukraine arranged trains, set up hotlines, worked with embassies. The Ukrainian government is doing its best.”
