By Krishn KaushikNEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Hiroshima, India's foreign ministry said on Friday, their first meeting since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. India is invited to the summit as a guest and Modi's meeting with Zelenskiy is set for Saturday evening, the ministry said. Ukraine's First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Emine Dzhaparova, who visited New Delhi in April, said Ukraine wanted India more involved in helping resolve its conflict with Russia. Cooperation and collaboration should define our times, not conflict," Modi said. Modi has spoken to both Putin and Zelenskiy by phone several times since the invasion, urging both to use dialogue and diplomacy to resolve their differences.
