India's stance in the UN over the Russia-Ukraine crisis might be seen as a cause of concern for countries like the US, France and the UK.

On Thursday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in Parliament, said that the government's efforts to reach out to leaders of both Russia and Ukraine is one of the considerations on which India's Ukraine policy was based. https://youtu.be/nzQtuzbSHWk
