On India's tough balance on the Ukraine war, the ambassador said he appreciated New Delhi's moves, including the abstention at the UN yesterday on a Russian resolution on the "humanitarian crisis in Ukraine".
The Ukraine war was the result of a "lot of miscalculation of Russian propaganda", Kyiv's ambassador in India, Igor Polikha, said today as the Russian invasion completed one month. He also said he would be the "happiest ambassador" if India's position moved closer to Ukraine.
"It is like the second World War when Nazis were destroying towns, villages, hospital, everything," Igor Polikha told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
On India's tough balance on the Ukraine war, the ambassador said he appreciated New Delhi's moves, including the abstention at the UN yesterday on a Russian resolution on the "humanitarian crisis in Ukraine".
"Yesterday's vote in UN was moved by Russia. India was together with 12 UN Security Council members, which abstained. Russia got only one supporter - China," Mr Polika said.
