Ukrainian President Zelenskyy speaks to PM Modi about G20, thanks India for aid and UN support

TL;DR

The call marked the fourth telephone conversation between the two leaders this year and came days after Mr. Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington, his first trip abroad since the war in Ukraine began in February.Mr. Zelenskyy’s reference to the peace formula entails a plan he had discussed during an address to the Bali G20, where he had listed 10-steps to peace: Including ensuring “radiation and nuclear safety; food security; energy security; release of all prisoners and deported persons; implementation of the UN Charter and restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and the world order; withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities; restoration of justice; countering ecocide (economic suppression); preventing escalation; and finally - confirmation of the end of the war.The Modi-Zelenskyy conversation is significant as India’s G20 Presidency has already begun with a number of meetings to finalise the agenda for the summit expected in September 2023.“This humanitarian aid and assistance symbolizes the human centric development approach of the Government of India, a central tenet of our national beliefs and values, which perceives the whole world as one family,” Ms. Khamboj said.In a television interview on Sunday, Mr. Putin blamed the Ukrainian leadership for refusing to come to the table for talks, but did not offer a ceasefire or explain what the “acceptable solutions” he was offering would be."
