The Office of the President of Ukraine has confirmed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ukraine on August 23, the eve of Independence Day of Ukraine. This will be the first-ever visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine.

During the visit, Modi will meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss bilateral and multilateral cooperation. He is also expected to sign several documents between Ukraine and India.
