In a landmark United Nations vote, the United States sided with Russia to oppose a resolution concerning the Ukraine war. This highly contentious resolution called for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian assistance, but was blocked by the combined veto of Russia and the United States. In contrast, India and China abstained, demonstrating their neutral stance on the matter. The international divide over the conflict continues to deepen, with major global powers taking divergent positions on the ongoing war and its potential resolution. India’s decision to abstain was met with mixed reactions, reflecting its delicate balancing act in international relations.
