PM Narendra Modi Ukraine train trip: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently on a visit to Poland. Today (22 August) is the second day of Prime Minister Modi in Poland. After Poland, he will go on a one-day visit to Ukraine. For the first time in the last 30 years, an Indian PM will visit Ukraine. A special thing about the Prime Minister's visit to Ukraine is that he will travel in a train called 'Rail Force One' instead of a plane. The reason behind this is the Russia-Ukraine war. During the war, there are frequent drone and rocket attacks between the two countries. In such a situation, it is dangerous for any global leader to travel by plane, that is why Prime Minister Modi will travel to Ukraine by train.

Before PM Modi, many world leaders have traveled in this train. This includes US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olof Scholz.

Rail Force One train was started in the year 2014. Initially people used this train to go to Crimea. It is a luxurious passenger train, equipped with all kinds of facilities, but later after the annexation of Crimea by Russia, this train is now used only for the travel of world leaders.
