KEY POINTS

·        The Government was involved in the evacuation of about 20,000 Indian students.

·        Prime Minister of India told that there is no military solution to the conflict. India chose to abstain from voting against Russia for conducting referendums and annexing Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, although neither leader referred to it. 

·        The critical importance of nuclear safety, particularly the Zaporizhzhia plant, that has been of much concern for the IAEA, which is involved in brokering talks between Ukraine and Russia to enforce a nuclear protective zone around it.

·        Over the past seven months, the war and western sanctions have had a dramatic impact on global security, food, fuel and energy supplies, and it is important to keep the lines of communication open.

·        India has an established record in global peacemaking. However, New Delhi can only play that part if it also sets out its position more clearly, and links it to its actions on the global stage.

·        The Government’s defiance of western sanctions on oil and defence trade is understandable in terms of defending India’s national interests.

·        However, it is harder to correlate External Affairs Minister remarks, on adherence to the UN charter and the importance of protecting territorial sovereignty.

·        India continues to abstain on all votes that criticise Russia’s actions in Ukraine: including the bombing of civilians, and the annexation of occupied territories.
