PM Modi chairs high-level meeting on Ukraine crisis

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high level meeting, his second meeting yesterday, to review the ongoing efforts under Operation Ganga to bring back Indians stranded in Ukraine. The Prime Minister said that the entire government machinery is working round the clock to ensure that all Indian nationals there are safe and secure.

The External Affairs Ministry said that Mr Modi pointed out that the visit of four senior ministers as his Special Envoys to various nations will energize the evacuation efforts. He said it is reflective of the priority the Government attaches to this matter.

The Prime Minister noted that the first consignment of relief supplies to Ukraine to deal with the humanitarian situation on Ukraine's borders would be dispatched today. Guided by India's motto of the world being one family, he also stated that India will help people from neighbouring countries and developing countries who are stranded in Ukraine and may seek assistance.
