New Delhi, Aug 30 (Reporter) India today said that its relationship with Ukraine will be guided by the bilateral discussions that have taken place, including during PM Narendra Modi’s visit to Kyiv on August 23, and the different views shared by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a media briefing, are his “own perspective on various issues and matters”. “Our point of view is that the Ukrainian side, they have their perspective on various issues and matters and they are sharing them with the media. As far as we are concerned, we will be guided by the bilateral discussions that we have had with them including on this high level visit that just concluded, which we believe will pave the way for stronger bilateral ties apart from facilitating more forward-looking discussions on the possibility of peaceful resolution of the conflict,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing. Asked about the second peace summit on Ukraine, and whether Zelenskyy had offered or proposed that India host it, the spokesperson said: “Look, our point here is we have always advocated constructive, solution-oriented and practical engagement with all stakeholders to achieve a negotiated settlement to this conflict. “This is evident in our approach, in our outreach to both Russia and Ukraine at the highest level. PM has already indicated India's willingness to play a constructive role in the interest of peace. However, it is too early to comment on specific modalities and pathways at this stage. The decision to when and how to commence peace talks is the prerogative of the two parties to the conflict. As friends and partners, we would support any feasible and mutually acceptable solution or format that could restore peace. So that is our stand on the question that you raised.” India has stressed that only solutions acceptable to “both the parties” can achieve a lasting peace in Ukraine and that dialogue and diplomacy are the only way forward to finding a solution...////...
