External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar tells Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, that attacks on commercial shipping and on Indian seafarers in the Black Sea by any party are “absolutely unacceptable,” according to reports from Mint and India Today. The communication takes place in the context of ongoing concern in India about the safety of its nationals working on vessels operating in the region. Jaishankar’s message emphasizes that attacks targeting shipping and Indian crew are not acceptable under any circumstances and seeks Ukraine’s understanding and cooperation on the issue. The accounts describe the same core point: Jaishankar directly raises the matter with his Ukrainian counterpart and frames the attacks as a serious violation affecting Indian citizens. Both outlets present the statement as part of diplomatic engagement between the two countries rather than as a response to a specific incident detailed in the coverage.
