Russia-Ukraine War: Why India is in a tough spot and the road ahead

Published on Feb 25, 2022 05:55 pm IST

The war in Ukraine has put India in a tough spot as it maintains close strategic and business ties with both Russia and U.S-led West. India's response to Russian invasion has been muted so far and the country has so far avoided from criticising Putin's actions. Now all eyes will be on India today at the UNSC when a resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine would be put on vote. While United States has been reaching out to India to vote in favour of the resolution, Russia on its part expects Indian side to back its operation in Ukraine. Hindustan Times Editor-in-Chief, Sukumar Ranganathan, shares his insight on the situation with Senior Editor, Aditi Prasad in this episode of the HT Insight.
