Russia's Indian-origin legislator and member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's party, Dr. Abhay Kumar Singh supported military action against Ukraine.
Even as the intense battle between Russia and Ukraine rages on, Indian-origin legislator and member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's party, Dr. Abhay Kumar Singh has come out in support of the military action against the neighbouring country.
Singh, who is a deputat -- parallel to an MLA in India, from the Western Russian city of Kursk, justified Russia attacking Ukraine, maintaining that the neighbouring country was given enough opportunity for talks, failing which the decision for war was taken.
"If China sets up its military base in Bangladesh, how will India react? It is obvious that India will not like this. NATO was formed against Russia and it did not disintegrate despite the Soviet Union breaking up and it gradually came closer to us. If Ukraine joins NATO, it will bring NATO forces closer to us as Ukraine is our neighbouring country and it would be a violation of the agreement. Our President and Parliament had no option but to act and a decision was taken (to attack Ukraine)," Dr. Abhay Kumar Singh told India Today in an exclusive conversation.

The Indian-origin Russian legislator also dismissed speculations that Russia was planning to carry out a nuclear attack on Ukraine. He, however, said the purpose of carrying out a nuclear weapon drill was to respond if another country attacked Russia.

"There is nothing to worry about nuclear weapons. President Putin has announced that nuclear exercise was being conducted only to respond if another country attacks Russia. If another country attacks us, Russia will respond in all forms", said the Russian legislator.
