Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Kyiv on Friday , just weeks after he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow .

The visit is significant because Kyiv and some Western capitals had reacted sharply to Mr Modi’s visit to the Russian capital in July .

India has refrained from directly criticising Russia over the war, much to the annoyance of Western powers.

India needs the West as China and Russia have forged close ties in recent years .

India has been ramping up engagement with Europe in the past decade , particularly with the underserved regions in Central and Eastern Europe .

Delhi wants to keep consolidating its relations with the big four - the UK , Italy , Germany and France - but also wants to boost engagement with other countries in Europe .
