New Delhi on the Ukraine War: Between Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific Region
Jagannath P. Panda and Eerishika Pankaj
Introduction:
Widespread international assertions levied on India have accused it of being somewhat soft in condemning the Russian attack on Ukraine. Staying true to its own policies of non-alignment and national interest needs, New Delhi has maintained a cautious stance on expressing any public statement that will severely question the Russian military attack on Ukraine. Amidst such strategic silence by Delhi, the question remains as to why India is reserved in condemning outrightly Moscow’s military adventurism on Ukraine. How to read and judge India’s future foreign policy graph vis-à-vis the Russia-Ukraine war? And, amidst such balancing, what approach would India hold towards its Indo-Pacific military outreach with a focus on India-Russia defence ties?
