New Delhi, Feb 24: Igor Polikha, Ukraine’s envoy, requested India to intervene in the dispute with Russia that began this morning, stating that India’s strong voice may make Russian President Vladimir Putin consider.
While praising PM Modi and the country’s status as a “strong global leader,” there were also strong words of condemnation for the foreign ministry’s approach, with him concluding that they are very unsatisfied.
“The recommendations and statement of your Ministry of External affairs — that was India is closely following the development of events. We are deeply dissatisfied with this position. What does this mean — closely following? Now, 50 people have been killed. When hundreds and thousands will be killed in this case, what will happen? Will follow more closely?” the Ukraine envoy said.
“We are expecting a much more favourable attitude of the Indian government in this crisis situation. It is the moment of truth. The moment of destiny… We are waiting, asking pleading for the assistance of India,” he added.
