NEW DELHI: Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has informed the United Nations Security Council about the second peace summit to end the Russia-Ukraine war , adding that Kyiv has already invited India and other countries to join the mediation process.
"We all know what needs to be done if we honestly look at the situation and truly want to stop Russia's war. Most importantly, act together, of course in unity, without creating new and unnecessary divisions of the world into blocks or regional groups," Zelenskyy said.
"Unity always works for peace and we have to prepare the second peace summit to end the war altogether. And I invite all of you, all principle nations to join us in this process, all who truly respect the UN Charter. We invite China. We invite Brazil. I have already invited India. We are working with African nations, all of Latin America, the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe, the Pacific region, and North America. All are equally important for peace, all without exceptions. Just as the UN Charter must work without exceptions," he added.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Zelenskyy in New York before wrapping up his three-day visit to the US.
PM Modi's meeting with Zelenskyy, requested by the Ukrainian side, came at the sidelines of his other engagements, including participating in the Quad Leaders' Summit and his address to the UN's 'Summit of the Future'.
The meeting between Modi and Zelenskyy was their third in a little over three months.
Modi met the Ukrainian leader in Kyiv last month, just weeks after he had met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in July.
