The United Nations will hold emergency
session of General Assembly today to discuss Russia's military
operations in Ukraine. UNGA President Abdulla Shahid will preside over
the 11th Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly, at the UN
Headquarters in New York later tonight.
The UN Security Council voted last night to hold the special emergency
session of UNGA. India abstained from voting on the resolution. Russia
voted against it and eleven UNSC members voted in favour of it. Given
the vote was procedural, no country had a veto, and the resolution was
adopted. China, and the United Arab Emirates also abstained.
India said, it is regrettable that the situation in Ukraine has
worsened further since the Council last convened on this matter.
India's permanent representative to the UN T.S. Tirumurti said India
reiterates its call for immediate cessation of violence and an end to
all hostillties. He said, there is no other choice but return back to
the path of diplomacy and dialogue. Mr Tirumurti said, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi advocated this strongly in his recent conversations with
the leadership of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. India welcome the
announcement by both sides to hold talks at the Belarus border, he said.
Mr Tirumurti added India continues to be deeply concerned about the
safety and security of Indian nationals, including a large number of
Indian students, who are still stranded in Ukraine. He said that India's
evacuation efforts have been adversely impacted by the complex &
uncertain situation at the border crossings. Taking into consideration
the totality of circumstances, India decided to abstain.
