Although New Delhi says it opposes war, its actions support Putin’s Government

President Modi was lauded by the West for his remarks about the war in Ukraine when he while talking to President Putin last month said '“today’s era is not of war.”

The West applauded Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks last month that “today’s era is not of war” as evidence that the biggest democracy in the world was finally losing its compunction about Russia’s unjustified assault on Ukraine.

Modi earned accolades from French President Emmanuel Macron, while the White House welcomed his “statement of principle.” Analysts claim that actuality is less cut-and-dry.

Instead of breaking off business connections with the Kremlin, India has increased its imports of Russian oil, coal, and fertilizer, overlooking Western sanctions and providing Putin with a crucial source of funding raising the conflict’s stakes dramatically.

New Delhi has consistently avoided voting in the UN to criticize Russia, giving Moscow the impression of international legitimacy. Additionally, alongside China, Belarus, Mongolia, and Tajikistan, India took part in Russia’s massive Vostok military drills in August, during which Moscow displayed its huge weaponry.

India voted against last week’s UN joint declaration criticizing Russia for holding fake elections in four regions of Ukraine, which were then used as a cover for Moscow to acquire Ukrainian territory illegally and raise the stakes of the conflict.

Ruchira Kamboj, who is New Delhi’s permanent representative to the UN, claimed that India is in serious problems of the happenings in Ukraine yet abstained from blaming someone and instead called for an immediate truce and resolution of the matter.

Such seeming inconsistency perfectly captures India’s singular stance on the conflict: it distances itself from Russia vocally while still maintaining crucial ties with Russia.
