  Narendra Modi Ukraine visit LIVE: Former Indian Ambassador to Ukraine Vidya Bhushan Soni on PM's Ukraine visit

  Narendra Modi Ukraine visit LIVE: Delhi: Former Indian Ambassador to Ukraine, Vidya Bhushan Soni, commented on PM Modi's visit to Ukraine, saying, "The four agreements between India and Ukraine carry significant symbolism... In my view, the most crucial aspect is reconstruction. Ukraine's reconstruction is urgently needed... It's going to require billions upon billions of dollars. Currently, the Western world is investing trillions, but when it comes to rebuilding, their generosity may wane. At that point, India's assistance will be more valuable—not necessarily in terms of financial aid, but through its contributions on the ground... Right now, the West is providing support not for the country's development, but to fuel the war effort. However, once the fighting ceases or negotiations begin, their financial contributions will likely decrease significantly, as they will prioritize their own development... The timing of this visit is spot on... The body language is very positive, reassuring both the President of Ukraine and its people that they won’t be left alone..."
