‘Wait and See’: Jaishankar on India’s position on Russian referendums in occupied Ukrainian territory
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar was non-committal on where India stood with regard to so-called ‘referendums’ Russia has organised in four occupied regions in Ukraine. When asked whether the so called referenda aid the cause of peace and conform to the U.N. Charter principles that India stood by as per his ddress to the United Nations General Assembly last week, Mr. Jaishankar did not answer the question but said the issue would come up for discussion at the U.N. “I think it is an issue that will be coming up for consideration. Ambassador to the U.N., Linda Thomas Greenfield had said on Tuesday that the U.S. and Albania would introduce a resolution on these ‘referendums’ at the U.N. Security Council. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, India has abstained on resolutions censuring Moscow at the Security Council and the General Assembly.
