India’s abstention on Russian referenda | Officials say New Delhi has remained consistent in its push for dialogue

The Hindu  

News Analysis | While there was little doubt over the outcome of the US-Albania In addition, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s speech at the UNGA where he spoke of India being “on the side of the UN charter”, and his statement at a press conference in Washington to “wait and see” what India’s Ambassador to the UN Ruchira Khamboj would say in response to the Russian referendums had sparked speculation that India would change its previous policy, since February 24, of abstaining on votes at the UNGA, UNSC, Human Rights Council and International Atomic Energy Agency on votes criticising Russia’s actions. In particular, the resolution was brought to the UNSC with considerable speed, and the vote took place hours after Mr. Putin’s speech formalising the “annexation” of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, comprising about 15% of Ukrainian territory, and came on the same day that Mr. Zelenskyy applied for an “accelerated” membership of the NATO military alliance between North America and Europe, which had further bolstered Western hopes of gaining support. However, experts say that US and European diplomats, had misread New Delhi’s statements and taken PM Modi’s phrase on the “era of war” ending out of context from his entire statement. However, former Indian Ambassador to Russia Venkatesh Verma said that India’s consistent stand has been to call for all sides of the Ukraine conflict to find “off-ramps”, adding that the war is no longer a territorial conflict, but a “systemic conflict” with possibly nuclear dimensions.
