Modi wrapped up a high-stakes visit to Ukraine Friday. This visit witnessed Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referencing the UN Charter and the need to respect territorial integrity and Modi’s mourning of children lost in the conflict.
According to BBC, the Ukrainian leader welcomed Modi in an “awkward” manner and smiles were few and far between.

“But I want to be frank, and this applies not only to India, but to any state that would be positive about hosting a second summit. We will not be able to hold a peace summit in a country that has not yet joined the peace summit communique,” Zelensky emphasized during a Sunday meeting with Indian journalists, according to the Kyiv Independent.
India did not sign the joint communique at the Switzerland summit on peace in Ukraine, as it insisted on the participation of all parties, including Russia.
