Prime Minister Modi is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Ukraine. Ukraine was founded in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Since then, no Indian Prime Minister has visited Ukraine. This visit of Prime Minister Modi is also special because since the Russian attack on February 24, 2022, no leader of any country other than the NATO countries has visited Ukraine. Prime Minister Modi met Ukrainian President Zelensky at the Mariinsky Palace. Meanwhile, there will be a bilateral meeting between the two leaders. The Mariinsky Palace has been decorated with flags of India and Ukraine to welcome Modi.
