India: India yet again abstains in UN over Russia-Ukraine conflict

NEW DELHI, 25 March 2022, (TON): India abstained from voting at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the Russia-drafted resolution on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine.

Only two countries - Russia and China - voted in support of the resolution, hence it failed to pass in the UNSC.

The draft resolution demanded "civilians, including humanitarian personnel and persons in vulnerable situations, including women and children are fully protected, calls for negotiated ceasefire for enabling safe, rapid, voluntary and unhindered evacuation of civilians, and underscores the need for the parties concerned to agree on humanitarian pauses to this end."

India, along with 12 other Council members abstained on the resolution.

There were no countries who voted against the resolution.
