Should India Go Beyond Appeals and Facilitate Ending the Ukraine War? - News18

News 18  

In what could turn out to be a very first step towards trying to help end the Ukraine War, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revived talking to the leaders of the warring nations after his early attempts at commencements, months ago. Needless to point out that Ukraine as a nation and Zelenskyy as a leader cannot afford to settle for anything less than a full withdrawal of Russia and Russian forces from ‘annexed territory’. Modi telling Putin that it was ‘not an era of war’ may have implied that India acknowledged that Russia started it. If Western leaders had paraded to New Delhi earlier in the year, it was not to seek India’s intervention to help end the Ukraine War early on. Leave aside India’s fitting reply that most of them were still buying Russian gas – ‘what India gets in one month, they get it in one afternoon’ – such a folly on New Delhi’s part at the time would have deprived them of a facilitator/negotiator that Russia would still trust.
