"It is important that India finds what steps and dialogue with other leaders it can take to contribute to bringing the end of the war closer. One of the directions could be food security. We discussed how Russia is blocking grain exports in the Black Sea. India is ready to act as a mediator in establishing food corridors, and we count on continued efforts in this direction," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on Monday.
He emphasized that the Russian Federation "must understand that its economy and hundreds of millions of people in various countries suffer from the blocked sea routes."
"We agreed that the teams will be in contact regarding these and other bilateral issues," the President of Ukraine reported.
Zelenskyy told Modi about the diplomatic track for ending the war. "We are actively preparing on each of the issues on the agenda of the meeting in Abu Dhabi. On Ukraine's part, there is always a constructive approach, and the same readiness to move toward de-escalation is needed from Russia. The Prime Minister has repeatedly said, including to the Russian leader, that now is the time to end the war, not to continue it," he said.
