White House says PM Modi's visit to Ukraine 'could be helpful'

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s vision for a just peace

The White House expressed its hopefulness over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ukraine on Friday, saying that they believed it would be helpful in trying to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict as PM Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit war-torn Kyiv.

“If it can get us to an end to the conflict that comports with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s vision for a just peace, well then, we think that would be helpful,” White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told reporters.
