How India’s abstention from the UNSC vote is different from China
India and China both have supported Ukraine on sovereignty and territorial integrity, but Beijing has also virtually defended the Russian action by asking for Moscow’s security concerns to be addressed.
Heavy fighting is going on in Kyiv with Russian troops pushing to take control of Ukraine’s nerve center.
India’s decision to abstain from the UNSC resolution on Ukraine strikes a balance between national interest and its core belief. The tough resolution was expectedly vetoed by Russia, 11 countries supported it with India, UAE, and China choosing to abstain from the vote.
