00:00 Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba embarked on a diplomatic mission to India,
00:05 urging New Delhi to reassess its close ties with Russia in the wake of what he describes
00:10 as an "evaporating Soviet legacy."
00:13 Kuleba's visit comes at a critical juncture marked by the escalating tensions between
00:17 Russia and Ukraine and growing concern over Russia's deepening alliance with China.
00:23 During his discussions in India, Kuleba emphasized the need for solidarity with Kiev, especially
00:28 considering the evolving geopolitical landscape.
00:32 He underscored India's security interest in the light of unresolved border disputes with
00:36 China, urging particular attention to the increasing China-Russia relationship.
00:42 Despite Ukraine's effort to garner support from nations like India, many countries from
00:46 the global south remain neutral, viewing the conflict primarily as a concern for wealthier
00:52 nations.
00:53 Kuleba highlighted Ukraine's potential as a significant partner for India, particularly
00:56 in trade and technology post-war reconstruction.
01:00 Ukraine aims to revive trade relations with India, focusing on agricultural export and
01:05 heavy machinery imports.
01:06 Moreover, Kuleba's bold statement regarding the Russian crude oil purchase by India hinted
01:12 at the human cost of conflict, reflecting Ukraine's effort to foster closer ties with
01:16 New Delhi.
01:17 Ahead of the Kuleba's visit, interaction happened between Indian and Ukrainian leaders, signaling
01:21 a willingness to engage.
01:23 However, Ukraine still faces a challenging period, with Russia gaining ground at the
01:27 front line and facing obstacles in receiving anticipated military support from the United
01:32 States.
01:33 Kuleba's visit seeks to challenge this stance, highlighting Ukraine's potential as a significant
01:38 partner for India in trade and technology, particularly in post-war reconstruction efforts.
01:43 Furthermore, his candid remarks regarding India's purchase of Russian crude oil, alluding
01:48 at the human cost of the war, reflected Ukraine's determination to foster closer ties with New
01:52 Delhi.
01:53 This diplomatic outreach underlined the urgency for Ukraine in rallying international support
01:58 for its nation amid escalating tensions and the ongoing conflict with Russia.
02:03 India has historically maintained close ties with Russia.
02:06 Its independent foreign policy stance and long-standing relationship with Moscow presents
02:10 a challenge to calls for reassessment of ties.
02:13 However, Kuleba's visit signals a willingness to engage on the part of both countries to
02:18 engage in discussions aimed at navigating the complexities of the evolving geopolitical
02:23 landscape.
