If you asked the Russians they’d probably also tell you they don’t support the violence.

If they don't support it, they have had plenty of opportunities to voice against it. But they have abstained. It is really disappointing.

Yes, but that doesn’t come close to supporting the war. On the other hand, they’ve provided considerable humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. For better or worse, that’s just the situation — economic and geopolitical — India is in. They don’t have the luxury of looking at things black and white like most western nations.

The situation in Ukraine is more black and white than most others. That India can't recognize that both surprised me and disappointed me. It would make a big difference if they dared to speak out against Russian agression. Even if they would like to remain on friendly terms with Russia they should recognize the atrociousy which Russia displays in Ukraine. Putin needs to hear it also from India.

> The situation in Ukraine is more black and white than most others.

Not for India’s economy and defense. Surely, you recognize they are not a rich country and in an unstable region?

In the long run, it would benefit them if they align with western values. How many Indian IT specialists are working for Russian companies? There is a new cold war brewing and India will need to choose a side.

This comment reeks of not knowing Indian history or geopolitics.

Azov is less than thousand men. Stop this straw man.
