All around the world, the news headlines are dominated only by one news: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While every country is asking for Russia to stop, Ukraine Ambassador Dr Igor Polikha has pleaded with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and stop the invasion.
In this statement, he says, “At the present moment, we’re asking, pleading for support of India. India should fully assume its global role whenever a totalitarian regime commits aggression against a democratic state”, he said.
He said Ukraine is deeply dissatisfied by India’s stand on the issue so far. “Modi Ji is one of the most powerful & respected leaders in the world, Dr Polikha said, adding, “I don’t know how many world leaders Putin may listen to but the status of Modi Ji makes me hopeful that in case of his strong voice, Putin at least should think over”, says Dr Igor.
He added, “We’re expecting that Modi Ji will try and influence Putin somehow”.
A while back, Russian Deputy Chief of Mission Roman Babushkin said, “Some attacks happened on the outskirts of the capital. Some attacks happened deep inside the territory of Ukraine. We’re getting the first information about casualties among our soldiers and the civilian population”.
Dr Polikha said that they are expecting India’s support of any kind- be it military, economic or political.
It looks like India is getting into an awkward position. While we share warm relations with Ukraine, India shares warm military and economic relations with Russia too.
