Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky, follows his recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Modi's trip to Kyiv, the first by an Indian Prime Minister, highlights India's delicate balancing act between its long-standing relationship with Russia and its growing ties with the West. Zelensky previously criticized Modi's visit to Moscow, but analysts suggest this trip underscores India's commitment to strategic autonomy. Modi aims to strengthen relations with both Russia and the West, especially as India enhances its engagement with Europe.
