Indian Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar stated that India has provided Ukraine with 19 shipments of humanitarian aid, including 160 metric tons of cargo consisting of generators, medicines, and medical equipment.
According to a correspondent for “Interfax-Ukraine,” he made these remarks at a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga on Thursday in Kyiv. Jaishankar noted that he would meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later that day and convey greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“To date, we have provided 19 shipments of humanitarian aid, including 160 metric tons of generators, medicines, medical equipment, and other items. Minister Sibiga and I will discuss what further steps can be taken in this regard,” the minister said.
He expressed regret and condolences regarding the death of an Indian citizen two days ago as a result of an attack in Kyiv. Jaishankar noted that, in India’s view, “solutions will not emerge on the battlefield.”
“Every day of the conflict means only more deaths and more destruction. It is clear that the parties involved must find a way forward. But if India can help in any way, we are ready,” the foreign minister emphasized.
He added that this was the focus of today’s conversation with the Ukrainian foreign minister.
The sides also discussed attacks on commercial shipping.
