When Zelenskyy calls PM Modi and asks for advice on the "peace formula"

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, requested India's backing for the 10-point "peace formula" during his visit to the US last week, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi called with him on Monday.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Narendra Modi and Zelenskyy have spoken on the phone four times.

Zelenskyy tweeted, "I had a phone contact with @PMOIndia Narendra Modi and wished (for) a successful G-20 presidency," following the conversation. I first presented the peace formula at this stage, and I now rely on India's support for its execution. I also expressed gratitude for the UN's cooperation and humanitarian aid.

His plan asks for the removal of Russian forces from Ukraine, the release of detainees, the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, and assurances for the security of the nuclear industry, the food supply, and the electrical grid.

12 shipments totaling 99.3 tonnes of humanitarian aid have been sent to Ukraine and its neighbors by New Delhi since February 24. These include prescription medications, blankets, tents, tarps, and medical supplies.
