In a telephonic conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday exchanged views about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, confirmed explosions in the Shevchenko district, a sizable area in the city's centre where the old town and various government buildings are located.
Zelensky’s office issued a statement clarifying that he did not call on NATO countries to pre-emptively use nuclear weapons against the Russian Federation. "Russia can blackmail but Ukraine will never make such calls", the press statement read.
