Unlike many other leading powers, India has not yet criticised Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and it abstained from the votes at the U.N. platforms in condemning the Russian aggression.
India has been pressing for the resolution of the crisis through diplomacy and dialogue.
Interacting with young students at the prestigious Institute of International Relations in Ashgabat on Saturday, President Kovind said that India is deeply concerned about the worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
“India’s position on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has been steadfast and consistent,” he said.
“We have emphasised that the current global order is anchored in international law, the U.N. Charter, and respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty of states.
Soon after the show, the artistes engaged in an interaction with the audience. The responses from the theatre lovers were varied. While a few appreciated the acting and presentation of the plot, many raised serious objections to the content of the play, written in 1983. It was a very eager, academic and lively debate with multiple voices coming in.
