Zelensky, Modi Discuss India's Mediation Role In Efforts To Unblock Grain Exports
"I spoke with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and briefed him on the latest diplomatic developments. We are actively preparing on every item on the agenda for the meeting in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine has always taken a constructive approach, and Russia must show the same readiness to de-escalate," he wrote.
Zelensky noted that the Indian prime minister has said more than once, including directly to the Russian leader, that now is the time to end the war, not to continue it.
"It is important that India identify what steps it can take and what dialogue it can pursue with other leaders to help bring the war to an end. Food security could be one such area," he said.
Zelensky specified that their conversation also addressed Russia's blockade of grain exports in the Black Sea.
"India is ready to mediate in establishing food corridors, and we are counting on these efforts to continue," he said.
