Addendum
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Ukraine in August as part of the first visit by an Indian prime minister in Ukraine's modern history.
Then Modi saidthat Ukraine and Russia would have to sit down together and find a way out of the "crisis." He also said that India was ready to proactively contribute to all efforts to achieve peace.
Modi's visit to Ukraine followed his visit to Russia in July, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the same day that a deadly Russian missile strike hit a children's hospital. The U.S. State Department said the visit raised concerns about India's ties to Russia.
Moscow has been a major arms supplier to India since the Soviet era. In recent years, Washington has been trying to interest New Delhi to counter China's influence.
