External affairs minister S Jaishankar said India’s stand on Ukraine was based on six principles which included immediate cessation of violence and end to hostilities, a return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy and the global order being anchored on international law, the UN Charter and respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states
The United States on Friday said India’s position over Ukraine was ‘unsatisfactory’ but also unsurprising given its historical relationship with Russia, Reuters reported.
“I think we would certainly all acknowledge and agree that when it comes to votes at the U.N., India’s position on the current crisis has been unsatisfactory, to say the least. But it’s also been totally unsurprising,” Mira Rapp-Hooper, the
director for the Indo-Pacific on the White House National Security Council, said at a panel discussion.
