Shashi Tharoor says India’s position on Russia-Ukraine evolved a little bit as…
The MP congress and former UN-seeded General Shashi Tharoor said on Tuesday that he was standing in India in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine had danced a little on Tightrope as New Delhi, at first, did not want to say anything that would disappoint Moscow. But over time, India became more vocal against Russia, Tharoor observed note that the Indian situation was very dangerous because there were more than 20,000 Indian citizens in Ukraine.
Shashi Tharoor said he expected India can now calibrate his steps with all Indians having been pulled out of the war zone. But India’s position has been seen by the world with the right understanding and Indian diplomacy has been effective in ensuring that, said Tharoor when he participated in a photo exhibition in Ukraine.
India has passed a very complicated and challenging time in negotiations because it is its own establishment in the crisis (Ukraine-Russia). There is no doubt that India in the first statement seems to be a little unwilling to say anything Russia will be annoyed,” he said.
In our next statement while we continue to argue at the United Nations, we have been a little more vocal about repeating our principles and diplomacy has taken into account the diverse interests we must guard, “he added.
Explain why India cannot be hostile to Russia, said Tharoor, “We are a quad member and we do not want us to take views from Indo-Pacific and pure focus in Europe. And then with Ukraine itself, we have to do 23,000 Indian citizens, especially Students, in the first few weeks. So, because of all these interests, there is a little dancing on the rope. “
The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has been going on for more than a month now and in the latest developments, Russia has announced de-escalation in and around Kyiv. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is scheduled to visit New Delhi, such as high US and British officials is also believed to be coming to India.
He will have a reason that is difficult to maintain and I am sure the conversation he will have in New Delhi will be very interesting,” said Tharoor.
