India's three-part truce plan aims to halt attacks on energy facilities and critical infrastructure, ensure the continuous flow of grain and energy through Black Sea ports, and end strikes targeting commercial shipping in the Black Sea region.
The proposal was conveyed by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on September 3 during his visit to Kyiv, which marked his first stand-alone trip to Ukraine as India's foreign minister.
