Emphasising closer cooperation between Kyiv and New Delhi, visiting Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Emine Dzhaparova called India a 'Vishwaguru' which is also home to some of the spiritual gurus, and suggested how India can play a bigger role in the ongoing war. "Ukraine really wants India to come closer to it. We had different pages in history but now Ukraine is gaining independence. We are now capable of being the subject, not the object," said Dzhaparova.
