Zelenskyy Seeks Global Support to End Invasion

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is actively seeking global support to end Russia's invasion, with a focus on leveraging Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's influence on Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy underscores Modi's potential to act as a mediator and suggests India could lead peace talks or exert economic pressure on Russia by blocking energy resources and defense-industrial access. Amidst these diplomatic efforts, Ukraine faces a challenging war front, particularly in the Donbas region, and anticipates a harsh winter compounded by Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy also highlights Ukraine's 'Victory Plan' aimed at enhancing its position in potential peace negotiations, while expressing concerns about the impact of the U.S. presidential elections on Ukraine's future support. Meanwhile, there are ongoing tensions involving South Korea and reports of potential North Korean military involvement alongside Russia in Ukraine, although these claims are met with skepticism. Zelenskyy's outreach to Modi is part of broader efforts to secure international backing ahead of Ukraine's third winter since the conflict began.
