Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak had a phone call with National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India Ajit Kumar Doval.

The interlocutors discussed a number of topical issues in the context of deepening Ukraine-India cooperation in bilateral and multilateral formats.

Andriy Yermak briefed Ajit Doval on the situation in Ukraine, first of all, on the course of repulsing Russian aggression.

The Head of the Office of the President emphasized that our country strives for peace, which must be fair and based on the principles of international law. He recalled that during an online speech at the G19 Summit in November last year, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a Peace Formula and invited all states to determine their possible role in its implementation.

Andriy Yermak emphasized that Ukraine would like to see India among the active participants in the process of implementing the formula and the peace summit that our country plans to hold. The Head of the President's Office also expressed hope that India's leadership in supporting Ukraine would be enhanced.

He noted that Ukraine counts on India's support for the resolutions initiated by our country within the UN General Assembly concerning the Peace Formula and the establishment of a Special International Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression.

"India's position and cooperation with your country are extremely important to us. And we want it to reach a qualitatively new level," the Head of the Presidential Office said.

The importance of further development of economic relations between the two countries was emphasized.

The Head of the President's Office thanked the leadership of India and its people for the humanitarian assistance provided to Ukraine during the full-scale war with Russia and expressed hope that this assistance would be broadened.

Andriy Yermak congratulated India on the upcoming national holiday - Republic Day, which will be celebrated on January 26, and wished the Indian people peace and prosperity.

The Head of the President's Office also thanked Ajit Doval for his condolences over the recent tragedy in Brovary, where as a result of the helicopter crash the leaders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and civilians died.
