Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his recent visit to Kyiv, paid a poignant tribute at the Martyrologist exposition dedicated to children, alongside Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. Modi stressed the severe effects of the conflict on the youngest and most vulnerable, saying, "Conflict is particularly devastating for young children."

After a nearly seven-hour journey from Poland, Modi's visit to Kyiv reinforces India's commitment to seeking a peaceful resolution to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has now persisted for over two and a half years. The prolonged war has inflicted a heavy toll on civilians, especially children caught in the crossfire.

In a heartfelt message on social media, Modi extended his condolences to families who have lost children due to the conflict. "My heart goes out to the families of children who lost their lives, and I pray that they find the strength to endure their grief," he wrote.

During his stay in Kyiv, Prime Minister Modi and President Zelensky are scheduled to hold both private and delegation-level discussions. These talks will focus on exploring possible paths toward a negotiated resolution to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
