Ukraine is looking to engage India more closely on the war, with the latest diplomatic contact highlighting both peace efforts and concern over attacks affecting shipping routes. The discussion came as worries grow over strikes linked to Black Sea maritime traffic.
India's External Affairs Minister spoke with Ukraine's foreign minister and raised the issue of attacks on ships in the Black Sea. According to the report, India repeated its position that such attacks are unacceptable and said they were condemned without ambiguity.
The exchange also underlined how the war continues to affect countries far beyond the immediate battlefield. India pointed to the wider global consequences of multiple ongoing conflicts, a theme it has stressed as disruptions to trade, transport and stability ripple across regions.
Ukraine's outreach to India suggests Kyiv sees New Delhi as an important voice in wider diplomatic efforts. At the same time, the focus on Black Sea shipping shows how maritime security remains central to international concern as the conflict continues.
