He also thanked the prime minister for India's humanitarian aid for his country, which has been facing a full-scale Russian invasion since late February.

“I had a phone call with @PMOIndia Narendra Modi and wished a successful #G20 presidency. It was on this platform that I announced the peace formula and now I count on India's participation in its implementation. I also thanked for humanitarian aid and support in the UN,” tweeted Zelensky.

Last month, too, the two leaders held a telephonic conversation to discuss the current situation in the east European nation. PM Modi has also held regular discussions with Zelensky's Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
