India's Modi Speaks With Ukraine's Zelenskyy by Phone on November 9; PMO Says India Ready to Contribute to Peaceful Resolution
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke by telephone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, November 9, and conveyed India's readiness to contribute to all efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, India's Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement.
The PMO said Zelenskyy briefed Modi on his assessment of the latest developments in the conflict. Modi reaffirmed India's human-centric approach and reiterated India's consistent position that the conflict must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. The two leaders also discussed measures to further strengthen India-Ukraine bilateral cooperation in various sectors.
After the call, Modi wrote on X: "Glad to have had a productive telephone conversation with President Zelenskyy. We reviewed our wide-ranging bilateral cooperation and agreed to further strengthen India-Ukraine ties." He said he thanked Zelenskyy for sharing his perspectives on the ongoing conflict, its humanitarian aspects and efforts to restore peace.
Zelenskyy wrote on X that he had briefed Modi on the latest diplomatic developments and that they were actively preparing on every item on the agenda for the meeting in Abu Dhabi. "We discussed Russia's blocking of grain exports via the Black Sea. India is ready to mediate in establishing food corridors, and we are counting on these efforts to continue," Zelenskyy said. He added that Modi had said more than once, including directly to the Russian leader, that now is the time to end the war, not to continue it.
Modi visited Kyiv in August 2024, becoming the first Indian prime minister to visit Ukraine since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992. The two leaders last spoke by telephone in August 2025.
