  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that India is prepared to mediate in the establishment of food corridors in order to facilitate grain exports through the Black Sea. This proposal follows a phone conversation between the two leaders, ahead of peace talks in Abu Dhabi. India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also engaged with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, discussing the conflict and diplomatic initiatives. The proposal to establish food corridors aims to address the blockage of grain exports, which affects food security for approximately 400 million people in Africa, West Asia, and Asia. If successful, this could significantly alleviate the risk of food shortages and malnutrition in these regions.",
