How far this decision of India is correct : The Hindu Analysis
- However , overall it seems the right decision of India for abstaining in the security council and supporting Russia indirectly . But up to a certain extent , it influences the interest of India. The Russian invasion is a violation of the BRICS resolution of New Delhi which was passed in the presence of Putin, Xi and Narendra Modi. Russia is the founding member of the BRICS , it means Russia is diluting the terms of the BRICS according to which no country can opt the path of aggression . The diluted terms of the BRICS would be dangerous for Indians because , in future the hostility of China would be increased .
- The decision of India may deteriorate the India US relation in future . Since Australia and Japan had also condemned the Russian aggression , therefore, India may face difficulties in QUAD .
- Because of the increasing hostility with China, India was looking towards Japan for the import of technology but after this steps of India , the bilateral relation of India and japan may be deteriorated
How far it impacts the interest of the India (national Interest ) : The Hindu Analysis

- Secondly, many of the Indian Children /student are stuck in Ukraine, after some time, the European countries can deny to support India for the evacuation of Indians from Ukraine

What should India do ?
India is potentially capable of meeting this Chinese threat — a threat that is evident by China grabbing 50,000 square kilometers of Indian territory.
The potential strength of India can become actual capability with a little help from the United States. India should not be completely tilted towards Russia . Now the time has come that India should start gradually criticism of Chinese aggression simultaneously as well as the issue of POK
Conclusion
For India , the time is very crucial and India has to take any steps careful and balance . As per the predictions on the basis of the pattern of war , Russia could not get a satisfactory victory over Ukraine. Once Ukraine will recover its hold after the war with the support of the west but India would not be able to reinstall its relation with Ukraine and west like earlier one . Therefore India should not support in every affairs of the Russia blindly , In United Nation, India should raise the voice in the favor of the cease fire strongly and but simultaneously continuing its support to Russia regarding her security concern.
