The development follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s invitation to Zelenskyy during his visit to Kyiv in August last year.

“In relation to the declaration about the future strategic partnership between India and Ukraine, believe me, we have potential for that. The Indian Prime Minister invited Zelenskyy to come to India. Both sides are working on this. We expect President Zelenskyy to be in India, definitely. It will be a great achievement in our bilateral relationship… We are trying to agree on a precise date," he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertook a historic visit to Ukraine on August 23, 2024, where he met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and extended an invitation for him to visit India. The two leaders have also interacted on multiple occasions during international summits.

This development comes amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Zelenskyy recently met with U.S. President Donald Trump for peace talks, following an earlier meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
