Russia-Ukraine War: Terming the idea by the West as absurd since the world was much more complicated and the plans of Western countries were doomed to be a failure, said Russian Consul General in South India Oleg Avdeev.
India was under tremendous pressure from the West in its geopolitical game against Russia and to isolate it following the conflict with Ukraine, a Russian diplomat said on Wednesday.
Terming the idea by the West as absurd since the world was much more complicated and the plans of Western countries were doomed to be a failure, said Russian Consul General in South India Oleg Avdeev.
"They (Western countries) clearly underestimate the irrevocable choice of independent States for just and equal multipolarity based on universal norms and principles of the international law in which there should be no double standards and confrontational attitude," he said.
The official was speaking at the 75th anniversary of Russian-Indian diplomatic relations observed by the Consulate General of the Russian Federation, South India.
