Narendra Modi heads to Ukraine after visiting Moscow | BBC News

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Ukraine on Friday, just weeks after he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

The visit is significant because Kyiv and some Western capitals had reacted sharply to Mr Modiโ€™s visit to the Russian capital in July.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was โ€œdisappointed to see the leader of the world’s largest democracy hug the world’s most bloody criminal in Moscowโ€.

Delhi has often spoken about the importance of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations. It has continuously pushed for diplomacy and dialogue to end the war.

  1. Modi. Linguistics; speak the worlds mother tongue – English, let the great Polish nation bow to Britannia.
    Your Polish is not up to scratch; this is all sound bytes for your m/billions in poverty, to see you as another Ghandi….perhaps

  2. India chose to side with Putin and tore up the long History of friendship with Europe, Britain and the USA. The Kohima Epitaph : "for your tommorrow we gave our today" ..all down the toilet just for some cheap crude oil. Modi has be-latedly decided to change sides only because they see now that they have backed the wrong horse. Brazil, South Africa, India, China have all acted like enemies and the people of these countries should be treated accordingly. Let them EMMIGRATE to Russia.. not here.

  3. these people are not our friends and rishi sunak was a pretty good example…just "show"…. no genuine friendship or loyalty.
    Let Brazilians, South Africans, Indians and Chinese EMMIGRATE to Russia not here .. they have shown which side they are on.
    TRUST = 0

  4. Long live Russo-Bhฤrat ties. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ If Ukraine and the west can have cordial ties with beggaristan, they should have no problem with Bhฤrat ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ freely engaging with Russia.

  5. Extremely foolish of the EU and EC in 2014 to march into Ukraine and the cheek on them that included the British who were still members of the EU and Catherine Aston responsible for EU foreign affairs and security policy not to have agreed with the Russian peace plan in the summer of 2014 after overthrow of President Yanukovych for Federal Government , our American Good Friday reforms in language and citizenship, including Donbass but excluding Crimea and did not have to demand those reforms of the Ukrainians but their EU terms were non negotiable for membership that would of united Ukraine .

    When the Americans and Ukraine Government applied their backstop against the EU from 2014 that they could not except the Russian peace plan thats when war broke out in Donbass . and conflict has not ended and the Americans or the Russians and BRICS could never of been excluded from trade agreements in Ukraine and two years later in 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU and their intention was that other countries including the Americans would be excluded from trade agreements with the UK but the EU , and UK Government agreed on the NI Protocol to exclude their main trade partners in Commonwealth and USA from UK trade agreements in 2019 but cannot exclude them from GB trade agreements with Unionist support in NI .

    In 2024 the American peace proposals may be excepted by the Russians and BRICS similar to the Russian plan 2014 and if the EU had of agreed the US EU trade agreement in 2016 the outcome would of been different today and the British would not of left the EU, if David Cameron and some of his reforms had of been agreed with the French and Germans .when he was PM ……………….. but the Ukrainian appetite to lose control of their borders , money and laws to the EU has gone, when the American peace proposals will be successful that they cannot lose control of their borders, money and Laws to Russia but will exclude Crimea with Russian troops withdrawing from of the Four Oblasts like Ireland 1922 and NI 1998.

  6. Why can't Modi speak English properly?? He's such an embarrassment on the world stage, when he tries to speak English he sounds like a lobotomised chimp, but at least he gives the rest of us a good laugh!!

    Modi: chai with sugar coming right up sir!

  7. It surprises me to hear Mody speak about human life value when in his own country India so many Muslim lives have been taken due to his Hindutva regime. He should practice what he says in his own country.

  8. At least Modi [India] is finally moving over to the right side. As India is the only major country that been oddly in the neutral zone for ages! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณโœŒ๏ธ
