As per the statement issued by Zelensky, the Ukrainian president called for India to support the peace effort to end the war. 

“It is important that India is supporting our peace efforts and shares the position that everything concerning Ukraine must be decided with Ukraine’s participation. Other formats will not deliver results,” said Zelensky. 

In response to this, PM Modi shared that he made India's stance in the war clear to the Ukrainian president. 

"I conveyed India’s consistent position on the need for an early and peaceful resolution of the conflict. India remains committed to making every possible contribution in this regard, as well as to further strengthening bilateral ties with Ukraine,' said Modi on X. 

The Ukrainian leader further called on sanctions against Russia as the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year.

“I noted that it is necessary to limit the export of Russian energy, particularly oil, to reduce its potential and ability to finance the continuation of this war,” said Zelensky. This statement comes as India faces 50 percent tariffs from the United States over its purchase of Russian oil. 

US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on India due to its purchase of Russian oil and “fuelling the war machine”.
