Over the past two weeks, several Indian seafarers have lost their lives or are missing after the ships came under attack from both Russian as well as Ukrainian sides in the Black Sea.
Jaishankar also conveyed to Sybiha New Delhi’s condemnation of such attacks by any side involved in the conflict, calling them unacceptable.
“Glad to connect again with FM Andrii Sybiha of Ukraine, after our respective travels,” the minister said, adding, “Discussed attacks on commercial shipping and Indian seafarers in the Black Sea.
On July 18, an Indian seafarer was killed in an attack on a ship while it was reportedly transiting Russian territorial waters in the Black Sea.
“By attacking civilian vessels in the Black Sea, Russia undermines freedom of navigation and puts global food security at risk.
