In February 2023 the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution on the war in Ukraine. 141 countries voted for it, 7 against, and 32 abstained. India was among those who abstained.
India’s Permanent Representative, Ruchira Kamboj, explained the vote. Given the resolution’s “inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to abstain.” She also asked: “Can any process that does not involve either of the two sides ever lead to a credible and meaningful solution?”
