Jaishankar says India is ready to help end Ukraine war, offers support for peace efforts

During his meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Jaishankar also discussed the safety of commercial shipping in the Black Sea. The ongoing military tensions between Russia and Ukraine have made the issue increasingly important. Attacks and disruptions in the region can threaten international shipping routes, affect trade and disrupt the movement of commercial vessels. India also remains concerned about the safety of its citizens working in the maritime sector. The latest escalation in the Black Sea has reportedly killed some Indian seafarers and injured others. These incidents have increased concerns over the risks faced by Indian nationals working on commercial vessels in the region. New Delhi wants all parties to protect civilian shipping and ensure the safety of Indian citizens as the conflict continues. India will continue to raise these concerns through diplomatic channels.

Jaishankar is currently visiting Ukraine for official talks with the country’s leadership on several bilateral and regional issues. India’s Ministry of External Affairs said the visit aims to strengthen relations between India and Ukraine. The two countries will also exchange views on regional developments and issues of mutual interest. Jaishankar’s talks with his Ukrainian counterpart carry particular significance as India seeks to maintain strong diplomatic engagement with Kyiv while continuing its longstanding relationship with Moscow. The visit gives both countries an opportunity to discuss political, economic and security matters. They can also explore new areas of cooperation and strengthen existing partnerships. India has maintained communication with both Russia and Ukraine throughout the conflict. New Delhi has consistently urged the parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and diplomacy rather than continued military action.

Black Sea shipping safety also discussed as India raises concerns over affected seafarers

The External Affairs Minister’s visit comes as Russia and Ukraine continue to face tensions in the Black Sea. Recent developments have raised serious concerns about the safety of commercial vessels operating in the region. The latest escalation has reportedly affected Indian seafarers, with some losing their lives and others suffering injuries. These incidents have highlighted the dangers that civilian shipping workers face as military activity continues near important maritime routes. India has consistently raised concerns about the safety of its citizens caught in conflict zones. New Delhi therefore considers the protection of Indian nationals an important part of its diplomatic engagement with Ukraine and other countries affected by the conflict. India will continue to monitor developments in the region and raise concerns related to the safety of its citizens. The government also remains focused on ensuring that commercial shipping can operate safely despite the ongoing tensions.

Jaishankar’s Ukraine visit also includes talks with Poland, highlighting India’s broader diplomatic engagement across Europe. The Ministry of External Affairs said Jaishankar will meet Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. The two leaders will discuss bilateral relations, regional developments and issues of mutual interest. India has consistently promoted dialogue, diplomacy and peaceful negotiations as the preferred approach to resolving the Ukraine conflict. Jaishankar’s latest remarks show that New Delhi remains willing to contribute if its involvement can support meaningful peace efforts. However, the two sides involved in the conflict would need to agree before India could take on any formal mediation role. For now, India will continue engaging with all relevant parties while supporting diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions. New Delhi hopes sustained dialogue can help create conditions for a peaceful and lasting settlement.
