MOSCOW, July 16 (Bernama-Sputnik) -- The Indian Foreign Ministry summoned the Ukrainian ambassador in New Delhi, Oleksandr Polishchuk, on Tuesday in connection with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia, reported Sputnik, citing The Economic Times newspaper.
Zelensky criticised the meeting by saying that it was a "devastating blow to peace efforts", the newspaper wrote.
Afterwards, India postponed a meeting of the two countries' working group on culture, the newspaper added, citing sources.
Last week, Modi paid an official visit to Russia and met with President Vladimir Putin to discuss a wide spectrum of issues, including settling the conflict in Ukraine. Following the meeting between Putin and Modi, the leaders adopted a joint statement where they strongly emphasised the need for a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine via diplomacy and dialogue.
