Summary
If India supports America, then it will affect relations with old partner Russia. On the other hand, if India goes with Russia on Ukraine issue, then it will break relations with its new partner America. In such a situation, it is also important to note that the relations between Russia and China have deepened recently.

Expansion
In fact, Russia, which has become aggressive on the Ukraine issue, is facing many major economic and commercial sanctions these days. Western countries are imposing sanctions on it one after the other. Meanwhile, Russia has appealed to India to cooperate. The Russian Embassy in Delhi said in a virtual press briefing issued on Wednesday that, ‘We hope that our partnership will continue at the same level as it is at present. In particular, take a look at the results of the recent Russian-Indian bilateral summit in December 2021. We have signed a 10-year cooperation program in the defense sector. We have a big pipeline plan. We are confident that all the schemes will be implemented successfully.
Fair India raises America’s concern
India, which has been neutral on the Ukraine issue so far, has increased America’s concern. The US is also surprised at India’s soft statement in the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday. On the other hand, the American magazine International Affairs has expressed concern over this stand of India. It has been said in the article that, while Russia’s action on Ukraine is being condemned, India is silent on this issue. In fact, India had appealed to all parties to exercise restraint while remaining neutral in the UNSC meeting. India had said that its priority is Indian citizens stranded in Ukraine.
If India went to either side
It has been said in the American magazine that, if India goes to one side, it will have a big impact. If India does not support Russia, then it is clear that in future it is going to increase its relations with America. If this happens, it will affect its old strategic friendship with Russia. It is important to note that the relations between Russia and China have deepened in recent times. In such a situation, India would never want to give China an edge by supporting any one on the Ukraine issue.
America is interfering in internal issues
Meanwhile, another statement from Russia has come to the fore. It has been said on behalf of Russia that, after the declaration of Dontsk and Luhansk as independent countries, today both of them have also applied for official recognition in Russia. Russia alleged that the US has started internal interference in the countries leaving Soviet Russia and Ukraine is being used against it.
