“India is one of those countries which will decide the fate of this century. As far as the Indian position on the Russian relationship is concerned, thankful for the call Prime Minister Narendra Modi made to our President. We’re thankful for the humanitarian steps that India has been making,” Sviatoslav Yurash said.
India has taken a cautious stance on reacting to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as it has remained in touch with both the Ukrainian and the Russian governments for the safe evacuation of the nationals who were stranded in Ukraine. PM Modi spoke to both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin and appealed for an immediate cessation of violence. However, it abstained from resolutions against Russia in the United Nations.
