According to major foreign media reports, President Zelensky revealed this information via Telegram after holding talks with Prime Minister Modi during the G7 summit held in Hiroshima, Japan. Last November, at a major G20 summit, President Zelensky presented a peace formula consisting of 10 points, including the withdrawal of Russian troops, restoration of justice, nuclear safety, food security, and energy security.

Furthermore, President Zelensky stated that during this meeting, the two leaders discussed Ukraine's requests regarding mine clearance operations and mobile hospitals. President Zelensky conveyed that Prime Minister Modi expressed his willingness to help and said that, for him, the war is a matter of humanity and human values. Modi emphasized, "I promise to do my best within all personal capacities that India and I can offer to resolve the situation."

This face-to-face meeting between the two leaders is the first since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February last year. India, which has pursued neutral diplomacy, has maintained a close relationship with Russia since the Cold War era and has strengthened economic cooperation without joining in the condemnation of Russia following the war.

Prime Minister Modi has previously called President Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin several times to mediate the war and urged both sides to resolve the situation through dialogue and diplomacy.
