How Russia-Ukraine war made India’s international relations complicated?<\/h2>\n

-Russia is a historical partner of India and India also has deep defence ties. So, India has no easy, immediate alternative to Russia.<\/p>\n

-The war has also made India\u2019s ties with its Western partners complicated as the trans-Atlantic powers, led by the United States, have launched an economic war against Russia.<\/p>\n

-Ukraine has publicly expressed its displeasure over India\u2019s position on the war. Ukraine also criticised India\u2019s energy purchases from Russia as it involved \u201cUkrainian blood\u201d.<\/p>\n

India refused to condemn Russia and maintained defence and trade ties. On the other hand, India expressed its uneasiness with the war and called for respecting the territorial integrity of all nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should India do?<\/h2>\n

Utilise India’s presidency<\/strong>: India is the chair of the G-20 and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. So, India should do more to show global leadership and help to end the war.<\/p>\n

India should play a bigger role in peacemaking<\/strong>: The Russia-Ukraine conflict has hurt not only Europe but also the entire world. The countries in the Global South are of the view that the hostilities should cease at the earliest. For example, both China and Brazil have hinted at playing a bigger role in brokering peace. So India should also join in the peace process.<\/p>\n

So, India should push for a pragmatic and permanent solution to the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
