“When discussing the situation around Ukraine, Vladimir Putin outlined the fundamental assessments of Kiev’s aggressive actions against the civilian population of Donbass, as well as the many years of destructive policy aimed at breaking the Minsk agreements,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
Modi thanked for the clarification and asked for assistance in ensuring the security of Indian citizens in Ukraine.
Putin replied that appropriate instructions would be given.
Also during the telephone conversation, some issues of bilateral cooperation were touched upon in the context of the Russian-Indian summit held in December 2021 in New Delhi.
Earlier, the Russian president, in an address to the citizens of Russia, said that he had decided to conduct a special military operation to protect Donbass.
