Phone talks between the foreign ministers of Ukraine and India

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiga, held phone talks with the Foreign Minister of India, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. During the conversation, they discussed the exchange of information regarding recent international contacts, as well as the outcomes of the visit of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to Washington.

Sybiga emphasized the consequences of Russian aggression, which extend far beyond Ukraine.

“By attacking civilian vessels in the Black Sea, Russia undermines the freedom of navigation and threatens global food security. At the same time, its ongoing war exacerbates instability in global energy markets, which has repercussions for countries far beyond our region,”
he stated. Ukraine reaffirmed its commitment to a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace, calling on India to play an active role in peace efforts. The parties agreed to maintain close contact in the future.

The importance of international cooperation

The talks between the foreign ministers of Ukraine and India highlight the importance of international cooperation in addressing global problems caused by conflicts. The focus on the consequences of Russian aggression and the call for India to become more actively involved in peace initiatives reflects Ukraine's desire to seek support among countries that can influence the situation on the international stage. This could also open new opportunities for economic and political cooperation between Ukraine and India.
