Russia welcomes India's perspective on Ukraine crisis
The issue can only be resolved through diplomatic dialogue, India said at the UN.
Russia on Friday acknowledged India's position in Ukraine's crisis, amid tensions between NATO and Moscow over the situation in eastern Europe.
The response comes a day after India told the UN Security Council that "peaceful and constructive dialogue" is a need of the hour and that any action that could escalate tensions should be avoided.
"We welcome the #India balanced, ethical and independent approach," said Russia's ambassador to India.
At a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Ukraine, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, TS Tirumurti on February 17, 2022, called for an immediate reversal of the situation.
In Delhi, Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi also said that India supports the rapid reduction of conflict and the resolution of the situation through ongoing negotiations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA) on February 16, 2022, set up a control room to provide information and assistance to the Indian people in Ukraine. In addition, the Indian embassy in Ukraine has established a 24-hour Indian aid program for a nation in eastern Europe.
Russia has deployed about 100,000 troops near its border with Ukraine without sending warships into the Black Sea to test the navy, sparking concern among NATO countries about Russia's possible invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly denied plans to invade Ukraine.
I have read that that the number of troops have increased from 100,000 to around 190,000. What about Biden and US administration creating the hysteria in the media about the invasion which Russia is denying? Also, Russia is claiming that there are mass graves in eastern Ukraine, which many think tanks are pointing out that would be an excuse for invasion. US think tanks calling out for false flag attack by Russia to justify the invasion?
Russia will take Ukrane sooner or later. Many of the Ukrainee wants to be with Russia ( Soviet , USSR).Now Europe need gases from Ukraine and other benifits. USA just shouting & threating but will not make any impact. Now to see how Russia handle Europe
