According to journalists, India is very interested in ensuring that the war in Ukraine end.
India can be useful in informal mediation in the Russian Federation against Ukraine / photo UNIAN, Viktor KovalchukThe dispute between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in the Oval office last week, as well as suspension of US military assistance for Ukraine, failed for Kiev, but India can find a diplomatic opportunity in this, writes Foreign Policy.
“India, given the nature of its diplomatic partnership, is one of the few countries that now has a fundamental opportunity to be a mediator in the Russian war in Ukraine. It has warm ties with the United States and Europe, friendly relations with Ukraine and, most importantly, deep and ancient partnership.”
The publication reminded that India has never criticized the full -scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, but the country is very interested in ensuring that the war end. In particular, India is important peace, because the country’s economy does not win from war, so the longer the conflict lasts, the higher the risk that Russia will become more dependent on China, which is a strategic competitor of India. In addition, a long war can undermine Russia’s ability to supply weapons to New Delhi (the capital of India – UNIAN).
Foreign Policy emphasized that India Prime Minister Naandra Modi has repeatedly called for the end of the war. According to him, he is also ready to promote this, promising it to the President of Ukraine during his visit to Warsaw last year.
“It should be acknowledged that India has good reasons not to be a mediator in Ukraine. It rejects the role of mediators in its own conflicts, including a controversy with Pakistan against Kashmir. New Delhi probably does not want to assume the role of a mediator, if they are not officially asked, and the demand for it may be limited.
Most likely, India does not want to interfere with the difficult diplomatic situation between the US, Europe, Russia and Ukraine, but the country can be useful in informal mediation, facilitating peaceful efforts made by Europeans and other countries.
“It can start with the fact that fashion will provide good services during future diplomatic meetings. Modi can meet Putin twice over the next two months. In December last year, fashion has invited the Russian leader to visit India in early 2025, and the date may be announced in the beginning. Energy, fashion can use both meetings to emphasize Putin’s importance of settlement, ” – said in the publication.
Even after a visit to Moscow, fashion can go to a meeting with Zelensky. Despite the fact that India’s ties with Ukraine are weaker than with the Russian Federation, the trip to Kiev in August 2024 was the first similar visit to the Indian leader since Ukraine’s independence.
“Meanwhile, fashion will have the opportunity to strengthen Putin’s peaceful proposals this year, when both leaders are likely to be present at the Brix, Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Great Twenty. New Delhi can share the results Policy.
In the end, Europe or the US will probably lead any peaceful effort in Ukraine, but India can still use its favorable diplomatic position to try to “push the needle forward” on the way to the end of the war, summed up in the publication.
