"It will be important for us to see India attend the inaugural Peace Summit, which is currently being prepared in Switzerland.," he stressed.

In turn, the Prime Minister of India wrote on social media platform X that he had conveyed India’s consistent support “for all efforts for peace and bringing an early end to the ongoing conflict.”

“India will continue to provide humanitarian assistance guided by our people-centric approach,” he wrote.

According to Sky News, India has traditionally had close economic and defense ties with Moscow and has refrained from criticising Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

But next week, Ukraine's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba will visit India as Kyiv looks to build support for its peace plan, two Indian officials aware of the matter said. It is the first visit by a top Ukrainian official since Russia's invasion.

As Ukrinform reported, Andriy Yermak and Ambassador of India Harsh Kumar Jain discussed areas of further cooperation, including establishing a just peace in Ukraine.
