Indian PM Modi reviews Ukraine situation with UN chief

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met visiting UN Secretary-General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres in Kevadiya, Gujarat and discussed global and regional issues, including the ongoing situation in Ukraine.

"Prime Minister and the UNSG also discussed global and regional issues, including the ongoing situation in Ukraine," Indian Ministry said in a statement.

The discussion on Ukraine between PM Modi and the UN chief came a day after the Indian embassy in Ukraine issued an advisory warning its citizens from travelling to the war-ravaged country.

On Wednesday, the Indian embassy in Kyiv issued an advisory, warning against travelling to the war zone and advising Indian citizens, currently in Ukraine to leave at the earliest.

"In view of the deteriorating security situation and the recent escalation of hostilities across Ukraine, Indian nationals are advised against travelling to Ukraine," the Indian embassy in Ukraine said in an advisory posted on its Twitter handle.

"The Indian citizens, including students, currently in Ukraine are advised to leave Ukraine at the earliest by available means," it added.
