India abstained from the United Nations Security Council(UNSC) resolution sponsored by the United States that strongly faulted Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
India voiced that discussion is the only way to resolve differences and issues, and expressed regret that diplomacy was abandoned.
Russia led the meeting as it holds the presidency for the month of February and vetoed the resolution.
The resolution declared that Russia must withdraw all of its military forces from Ukraine’s territory within its internationally recognized boundaries immediately and unconditionally.
Russia dismissed this resolution, even though the members voted for it, the resolution did not pass.
