India got a request to press the Russians...which we did: S Jaishankar on Ukraine war

India Today  

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that India, acting on a "request", pressed Russia on the safety of a nuclear power plant which was near the fighting zone during the country's ongoing war with Ukraine. "When I was in the United Nations, the big concern at that time was the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant because there was some fighting going on in the very proximity to it," said Jaishankar at an event with business leaders in Aukland. Maintaining India's neutral stand on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Jaishankar said it is natural that different countries would react a little differently. In this situation, Mr Jaishnakar said he would see what India can do, "which obviously would be in the Indian interest, but also in the best interest of the world".
