After Russian President Vladimir Putin, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has also said, ‘India can play an important role in ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.’ He said this at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio on Saturday (September 8). When the Italian Prime Minister made these remarks, Ukrainian President Zelensky was also present on stage with him. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said during the address, ‘It is clear that conflict and crisis will increase if international law is violated. But it is also clear that as the crisis progresses, the global economy will be affected. Violation of international laws and regulations and economic globalization cannot go hand in hand. I believe that China and India can play an important role in resolving the war. For Italy the choice to support Ukraine is first and foremost a choice of national interest, and it is a choice that will not change.’

PM Modi’s visit to Ukraine:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Ukraine on August 23, urged Ukrainian President Zelensky to hold direct talks with Russia and asserted that the two countries should not delay ending the war. It is to be noted that this was the first visit of the Indian Prime Minister after the separation of Ukraine from the Soviet Union in 1991 and becoming a separate country. Immediately after returning from Ukraine, Prime Minister Modi spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden and the then Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is noteworthy that, earlier in the Eastern Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, ‘India is helping to find a solution to the ongoing crisis in the region. can play an important role. Compromises that were agreed upon during the Istanbul talks and that could not be implemented could form the basis of future peace talks.’ Putin named three countries in contact with him on the Ukraine conflict, including India.
