First visit to india by a Ukrainian FM since Russian invasion...
At the end of this month, Dmytro Kuleba, the foreign minister of ukraine, is anticipated to travel to india for the first time since the Russian invasion began in 2022 in order to advocate for backing for a peace conference, sources with knowledge of the situation said on Monday. The persons spoke on condition of anonymity. Kuleba, who is due to co-chair a meeting of the India-Ukraine inter-governmental commission with his indian counterpart S jaishankar, will be joined during the brief visit by a high-level team.
The commission, which is in charge of all facets of the bilateral relationship, will be meeting for the first time since 2018. Although neither india nor ukraine have formally announced Kuleba's visit, sources say he is anticipated to arrive in New delhi on march 28. Kuleba's top priority is likely to be a peace summit that neutral switzerland intends to organize in the upcoming months, according to the people. The 10-point peace plan announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2022 and a string of recent meetings are expected to be expanded upon at the anticipated summit of world leaders.
Beijing would think about participating in the peace conference intended to put an end to the conflict in ukraine, according to a comment from China's envoy to switzerland on Monday. The peace conference was suggested in january, and the swiss government has stated that it hopes to organize it this summer. On january 3, 2024, Kuleba spoke with jaishankar over the phone to discuss the relationship between india and Ukraine. At the time, Kuleba claimed to have talked with Zelenskyy about additional cooperation on Zelenskyy's peace formula and Russia's intensification of attacks in a post on X.
