PM Modi speaks to Zelenskyy, reiterates peace through dialogue
The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke by phone on Monday (9 November) with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy shared his perspective on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Modi reaffirmed India’s position that the war must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, and said India is ready to contribute to all peaceful resolution efforts.
Zelenskyy said in a social media post that he briefed Modi on latest diplomatic developments and that Ukraine is actively preparing for a meeting in Abu Dhabi. He said India is ready to mediate in establishing food corridors, citing Russia’s blocking of grain exports via the Black Sea. The two leaders agreed their teams will stay in touch. A Russia-Ukraine-US delegation meeting is planned in Abu Dhabi on 10 to 11 November.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report PM Modi's Monday (9 November) call with President Zelenskyy using near-identical PMO material, so the coverage on India's stance is uniform. Tv9hindi.com adds two original facts: Zelenskyy's post, which reveals an Abu Dhabi meeting is being prepared, Russia's Black Sea grain blockade, and India’s readiness to mediate food corridors. The story also mentions parallel US mediation, quoting Trump's claim that a deal is close, and plans for a Russia-Ukraine-US delegation on 10 to 11 November in Abu Dhabi. The Aajtak piece omits all of this. The balanced reading is that both sources confirm India’s consistent call for dialogue, tv9hindi.com gives the broader diplomatic and military context. Both leave open how India will operationalise its readiness beyond the phone call.
