Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Kiev on August 23rd local time for a visit, and his first stop was Poland, which was also the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Poland in 45 years, and the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine in 30 years. Of course, although Modi's visit to Poland was the first stop, it was actually relatively minor, or a foil, and it might even be to let Moscow not mind too much, you see, Ukraine is just a visit on the way. This means that India still wants to walk its own balancing beam, not to let itself play the game of third parties to play both sides, and still have to play both sides between Russia and Ukraine and the West.

Many people say that this is to first test the bottom line of Poland, the country that most supports Ukraine, and then go to Ukraine. In fact, this is overthinking and does not understand the true meaning of head of state diplomacy. The tone is set in advance and the issues have been discussed before, so there cannot be too many twists and turns.

Both Modi and Zelensky called the Indian Prime Minister's visit to Kyiv a historic event. At the joint press conference, Modi said, "The path to resolve the conflict can only be found through dialogue and diplomacy. We need to act quickly in this regard. Both sides should sit down and negotiate to find a way out of the crisis."

"I want to assure you that India is willing to play an active role in any effort to promote peace. If I can play any role personally, I will do it, I assure you as a friend."
