Ukraines temper tantrums not going to work with India, even Hardeep Singh Puri humiliated the CNN journalist when she tried putting the Minister at spot abt Indias purchase of Russian crude. Anyways the guy who stoked this controversy was the former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany who insulted German Chancellor and refused to apologize and eventually with one controversy after an another he was removed from that position. So Ukraine can play these cheap tactics with West but Indian govt has its duty towards its citizens not Ukraine. 😂

If Congress was ruling now....India would have become the doormat for West
Salaam ModiJi and his Govt 🙏

Ukraine's criticism is very silly. They don't decide our foreign policy. Ukraine should instead try to solve the dispute with Russia, instead of trying to please EU, NATO etc.

Every Nation see friends with benefits based on one's independent interest, that's what India is doing.
Jai Hind 🙏🚩

[ShubhamRaj]

If a war has to happen tomorrow involving India, then India will be on its own.
So, it's better to mind our own business than to worry about what others have to think about us.
Also, India don't need any confirmation from Ukraine.
We will buy the Russian oil because we need to.

GOI runs on Indian people's taxes. Indian citizens interests are sacrosanct.

Goosebumps sentence for me:- Indian foreign policy is to serve the indian people and they will do whatever it takes to discharge

The true nature of the Ukrainians was very clear at the time of the evacuation of the Indian students from their country. Even at the time of an impending war they still had the stomach to dish out racism to the Indian students. Those students paid money to Ukraine to study there.

A country that actually serves it's own people instead of some foreign government. Great respect to India.

I won't be tired to keep saying India diplomacy, and its country first interest vis à vis of the Western countries is amazing. Good job, sir, from a supporter in west Africa 🌍 🤝💪

[raghubharadwaj]

This is the sort of parliament I was longing for all these times...I was fed up with politicians watching Blue film, wrecking havoc, slandering and what not...this is how the parliament should operate listen arguments calmly and debate without disturbing the decorum of the house

Ukraine relation with India:-
1. Support to pakistan over Kashmir issue
2. Provide to pakistan defence euipments like more than 400 tanker gave to Pak from 2017 till now
3. Ukraine is one of the all 25 member who was against the India's Nuclear program

Fantastic Reply for Zelensky by our FM

[sumandutta]

Ukraine is the battleground of US-Russia conflict. Don't know whether Zelensky and his team understand that they are fooled in the name of democracy. If blaming India helps, be our guest.

[Akumtemjenbrucelongchar]

India supporting any countries doesn't mean we support for war but for development, science and technology, economic growth etc.

[p.a.sudhir]
