Modi will hold both one-on-one and delegation-level talks with Zelensky with a focus on ways to find a negotiated settlement to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This is the first visit by an Indian prime minister to Ukraine since the country became independent in 1991.
"I look forward to the opportunity to build upon earlier conversations with President Zelensky on strengthening bilateral cooperation and share perspectives on peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict," Modi had said before leaving Delhi.
India has so far maintained a neutral stance in the Russia-Ukraine war, calling for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the conflict. Modi's government has expanded India's non-alignment policy to "multi-alignment," engaging with both the countries independently.
Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk said India could play an essential and constructive role in resolving the Russia-Ukraine war.
