Why India is getting serious about ending the Ukraine war

US tariff threats and drone strikes on an Indian-owned factory are pushing Delhi to shift from passive advocacy to active peacemaking

The Ukrainian embassy in India condemned the attack in a social media post.

“The barbarians do not care that the factory belongs to Indian owners,” it wrote. “The hypocrites continue talking about the ‘historic friendship’ between India and Muscovy. In reality, death and destruction are the true face of Russian fascism, hidden behind the mask.”
