India on Wednesday greeted Ukraine on its Independence Day and wished peace, prosperity and bright future to the people of the war-torn eastern European nation.
Ukraine celebrated its Independence Day on Wednesday, which also marked exactly six months since the start of Russia's military offensive against the country on February 24.
"On the occasion of the 31st anniversary of Ukraine's Independence, the Embassy of India in Ukraine wishes peace, prosperity and bright future to the people of Ukraine. @MFA_Ukraine," the Embassy of India in Ukraine tweeted.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who is currently in Latin America on a six-day official visit to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, greeted his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and said India was committed to its broad based relationship with Ukraine.
"Greetings to FM @DmytroKuleba and the people of Ukraine on the occasion of their Independence Day. Committed to our broad based relationship that encompasses so many domains," Jaishankar tweeted.
Western nations, including the US, have imposed major economic and other sanctions on Russia following the aggression.
