This time Ukraine is on India’s side to stop the Russian military attack. Ukraine’s ambassador to New Delhi Igor Polikha on Thursday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to mediate to restore peace. He also requested Modi to contact the two countries for immediate peace talks.
“In the current situation, we are seeking India’s help,” Iger said on Thursday. India has a special relationship with Russia. New Delhi could play a more active role in controlling the Russia-Ukraine crisis. We urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately contact Russian President Vladimir Putin and our President Volodymyr Zelensky. Modiji is one of the most powerful leaders in the world. ”
Russian forces have hit ground and air in various parts of the Ukrainian border since Putin declared war on Thursday morning. The capital, Kyiv, has been hit by a missile strike. Russian paramilitary forces have landed near the city of Kharkiv. Troops have also begun landing from the Russian navy’s Amphibian Landing Vehicle in the coastal cities of Mariupol and Odesa.
The US-led NATO alliance has promised military aid to Ukraine but has not sent a direct message. Diplomats believe that the Zelensky government has sought the help of “Russia’s old friends” like India in the face of intense pressure.
