• The showdown between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could set the stage for a heated encounter in New Delhi later this month.
• Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are invited to the Raisina Dialogue, organized by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in Delhi.
• The chief guest at the event from March 17 to 19 will be New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, and several European Ministers and senior officials.
• Indian experts have criticized Zelenskyy for inviting harsh public treatment by the U.S. President.
• The open rift between Washington and Kyiv could remove pressure on India to condemn Russia and join sanctions.
• As many as 1,800 speakers and delegates from over 120 countries have confirmed their attendance thus far.
