The State Department commented on the anticipated visit of the Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma called the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ukraine very important, especially in light of Russia's attempts to destabilize the world order.

Modi's visit to Ukraine is considered very important. It is currently especially important to "protect and preserve" the international order, according to Verma.

The Prime Minister of India is expected to visit Ukraine for the first time in the history of the two countries' relations. He intends to continue talks with President Zelensky on strengthening cooperation and share perspectives on a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

Verma emphasized the need to counter attacks, invasions, and assaults on civilians, including the killing of children. He also noted India's understanding of its obligations to Russia but expressed gratitude to Modi for his stance on peace.

Overall, Verma believes that India and the USA should have a unified position in both good and difficult times, as authoritarianism is on the rise globally.

In addition, Verma expressed his gratitude to Penny Pritzker, who held the position of special representative for Ukraine's economic recovery for a year.
