Prime Minister Narendra Modi will probably visit Ukraine on August 23, where he will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This is the Prime Minister’s first visit to Ukraine after the war with Russia. PM Modi is going to Ukraine at a time when he has returned from Moscow after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin just a few days ago.
PM Modi visited Russia
About a month ago, PM Modi had met Zelensky at the G7 summit held in Italy. Earlier this month, when PM Modi was on a visit to Russia, both the countries agreed to increase cooperation in various sectors including nuclear energy and shipbuilding.
In Russia, PM Modi was also awarded Russia’s highest civilian honour, the ‘Order of St Andrew the Apostle’ award by Putin for his ‘extraordinary contribution’ in promoting bilateral relations between the two countries. Prime Minister Modi made a two-day visit to Russia on July 8, 2024 at the invitation of Putin for the 22nd India-Russia annual summit.
Ukraine made serious allegations against Russia
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for a long time. The situation is such that neither Russia is ready to step back nor Ukraine is ready to kneel down. Recently, the wife of a Ukrainian prisoner of war had made very serious allegations against Putin’s army. The wife of a Ukrainian prisoner of war named Larisa Saleeva has accused Russia of stealing the organs of dead soldiers and selling them.
Larisa, head of the Freedom to Defenders of Mariupol group, claims that many organs of the Ukrainian soldiers whose dead bodies were returned by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army are missing. However, according to sources, Russia has denied these allegations and called it a conspiracy.
