Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Japan Saturday
The in-person meeting was the first between the two leaders since Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine some 15 months ago, and took place hours after Zelensky made a dramatic arrival at the three-day summit of the world’s industrialized democracies.
In Modi’s case, close ties to Russia could mean the potential to both leverage pressure on Putin, or keep his economy going. Last year, Modi spoke to Putin of the need to “move onto a path of peace” during a face-to-face with the Russian leader on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Uzbekistan in September, according to a readout from the Indian side – viewed at the time as a sign of impatience from New Delhi as the conflict dragged on.
