Kyiv, August 15, 2025 – On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy extended warm congratulations to the Indian government and its people, expressing optimism for India’s potential role in facilitating peace amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. In a statement shared via social media, Zelenskyy also highlighted the importance of deepening cooperation between the two nations in key sectors, including science, technology, trade, and culture.

Together, we can strengthen our partnership in science, technology, trade, and culture for mutual prosperity.”
The message comes at a time when India has maintained a neutral stance in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, advocating for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the crisis.

The two countries have cooperated in areas such as defense, education, and space technology, with potential for further growth in trade and cultural exchanges.
India’s Independence Day, marking its freedom from British colonial rule in 1947, was celebrated with nationwide events, including a flag-hoisting ceremony by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Red Fort in New Delhi. Zelenskyy’s message adds to the chorus of global leaders acknowledging India’s milestone and its rising prominence on the world stage.
As the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, Zelenskyy’s appealshe appeal to India reflects a broader call for international support in achieving a peaceful resolution. Analysts suggest that India’s diplomatic leverage and commitment to multilateralism could play a pivotal role in future peace negotiations.
