PM Modi, in the meeting, said he had suggested direct talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and added that he found the situation in Ukraine "very worrying".
Speaking of India's contributions to Ukraine in terms of medicines and relief material, PM Modi also reminded the US President of New Delhi's strong condemnation of the Russian aggression against civilians in Ukraine's Bucha and expressed hope that the "ongoing talks between Russia and Ukraine will pave the way for peace".

We have placed importance on the safety of the civilian population in Ukraine and the uninterrupted supply of humanitarian aid to them," said the Prime Minister.
