India-Ukraine diplomatic engagement

Overview

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar conducted a three-day official visit to Ukraine and Poland to discuss bilateral ties and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. During meetings in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, discussions focused on Black Sea security, the protection of commercial shipping, and food corridors.

A central point of contention involved India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. While Zelenskyy expressed concerns regarding these imports, Jaishankar defended India’s energy policies, stating that the country must prioritize the energy security of its 1.4 billion people and will not change policies under external pressure.

Jaishankar maintained that the conflict, entering its fifth year, must be resolved through “dialogue, diplomacy, and negotiation” rather than through economic warfare or the restriction of trade in oil, minerals, or fertilizers. The two nations also agreed to expand cooperation in sectors including health, agriculture, and digital technology.
