Dmytro Kuleba, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, announced his arrival in New Delhi with the aim of advancing Kyiv's peace agenda and fostering stronger relations with India. Emphasizing the dialogue between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kuleba expressed a commitment to discussing the specifics of the proposed peace formula.

Ukraine is advocating for a summit of global leaders, excluding Russia, in the near future to promote its peace plan, which includes the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. However, Russia has dismissed this diplomatic endeavor as unfeasible.

Ahead of Kuleba's visit, Modi engaged in separate phone conversations with both Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Notably, India's historical economic and defense ties with Moscow have restrained it from openly criticizing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, opting instead to increase purchases of Russian oil.

Kuleba's visit to New Delhi signifies Ukraine's diplomatic efforts to garner support for its peace initiative on the global stage.
