After India abstained from a procedural vote calling for a discussion on Ukraine — initiated by the U.S. — at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy thanked the country publicly. New Delhi finds itself attempting to balance the interests of both its partners — Washington and Moscow — in the unfolding situation along Ukraine’s borders.

“ As we expected, it [ the discussion] was nothing but a PR stunt, classic example of ‘megaphone diplomacy’. No facts, only allegations and unsubstantiated claims. U.S. diplomacy at its worst [ thumbs down symbol],” Mr. Polyanskiy said on Twitter.

“ Thanks to 4 of our colleagues,” he said, posting symbols of the flags of China, India, Kenya and Gabon, “ who were brave to withstand U.S. hand-twisting before the vote.”


Just for note - who says that india is now in US camp.

But only reality is that we are in our camp. Trying to maintain strategic relationship with USA but at same time, maintaining our good relationship with Russia.

This is a beauty of our foreign policy. Always mainten a good relationship with east and west.... Palestine to Israel, Russian to American..

As expected. I am glad that we took a rational and neutral stance. Ukraine should be the one deciding their path forward rather than this becoming a USA vs Russia thing. Though I am curious why Gabon and Kenya abstained. Their participation itself was surprising in the first place. They have literally not stakes in the Ukraine-Russia-West slugfest.
 
India will now face the wrath of Western power. Either with me or Russia. No alternative for you except China. :lol:
