Ukraine Ratifies Rome Statute Amid Modi's Peace Call

During his visit to Poland, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated India's stance on resolving conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy, particularly concerning the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Modi emphasized that no conflict can be resolved on the battlefield, expressing a commitment to support peace and stability. Meanwhile, Ukraine's parliament ratified the Rome Statute, formally joining the International Criminal Court (ICC) to enhance accountability for alleged Russian war crimes, a move aligned with its European Union aspirations. This step is seen as crucial for prosecuting Russian officials implicated in crimes against Ukrainian civilians. The ratification follows a long process hindered by disinformation but is now supported by Ukrainian military leadership.
