India has abstained on a draft resolution tabled in the UN Security Council which condemned Russia's "illegal referenda" and annexation of four Ukrainian territories and called for an immediate cessation of violence while underlining the need to find pathways for a return to the negotiating table.
The 15-nation UN Security Council on Friday voted on the draft resolution tabled by the US and Albania that condemns Russia's "organisation of illegal so-called referenda in regions within Ukraine's internationally recognised borders."
Russia on Friday vetoed the draft resolution that described its attempts to “unlawfully annex” the four regions of Ukraine as a “threat to international peace and security” and demanded the decision be immediately and unconditionally reversed.
While explaining New Delhi’s vote at the UN Security Council on the draft resolution titled “Illegal So-Called Referenda in Ukraine”, Ruchira Kamboj, the permanent representative to the UN, said: “India is deeply disturbed by the recent turn of developments in Ukraine. We have always advocated that no solution can ever be arrived at the cost of human lives.”
