On August 23, 2024, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to travel to Ukraine at President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s invitation. It is anticipated that this visit, which marks a turning point in the relationship between India and Ukraine, will open the door to further collaboration in a number of areas, including science and technology, commercial connections, and defence.
One of the main topics of conversation between President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Modi will be defence, an area in which both countries have long collaborated. Historically, the Soviet Union supplied India with a large amount of its defense equipment, much of which was produced in what is now Ukraine.
