India As Mediator In Russia-Ukraine War?
Is India trying to mediate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war? One may not get a straight yes or no answer, but Pankaj Saran, former deputy national security adviser and currently head of the NatStrat think tank, believes India has significantly raised its profile on the issue.
Saran told StratNews Global that India may be working to a strategy where on its own and also in concert with other countries, it is raising the pitch on the need for something on the ground, perhaps a ceasefire that could give a breather to the protagonists. He acknowledges that this will not be easy since there is no sign of any war fatigue on either side.
But they have suffered enormous losses in men, materiel and especially in the case of Ukraine, territory. The latter’s issues with deficiencies in the supply of ammunition and equipment are in the public domain. Diplomatic support may also be a shade lacking or in doubt going forward.
That could explain the Ukrainian outreach to India, whether of its own volition or persuaded by its US and European allies, Saran says. It underscores an important point: that these two power blocs by virtue of being solidly on Kyiv’s side cannot hope to play peacemaker. Their values would also imply a complete Russian withdrawal from Ukraine, which President Putin has underscored, will never happen.
China has been actively trying to promote peace but it may have no takers in the capitals of Europe or the US. An African effort also floundered.
Could India pull off a miracle? Saran argues that enormous diplomatic effort would be required, not solely from India but from some other countries too. A deal is not going to happen tomorrow but yes India is in the game.
As for the singular absence of the United Nations, apart from some resolutions passed by the General Assembly, the Security Council is a picture of paralysis given that the members are divided, some backing Ukraine, others Russia.

A mediator is supposed to be neutral. India supports Putin.
Hey India just give Kashmer away for an empty promise of peace
bring peace you become a superpower ❤
Dy NSA Pankaj Saran's reply to the question on historical relations between India and Ukraine; while correct, was grossly understated. To me, after its independence, Ukraine's attitude towards India could be characterised as 'disdain'; smug that it was, in its new found friendships with the EU and the US. To provide an anecdotal evidence; Ukrainian consulates in US expressly prohibited Indian Nationals resident in the US from applying for tourist visas; and apparently was not an issue from other nationalities resident in the US. Likewise, Consulates of many other nations in the US had no problem issuing visas to Indian Nationals resident in the US. Dy NSA was also right in pointing out to the rather decent relationship in the field of defence; but that can be primarily attributed to it being a source of revenue for Ukraine.
How about instead of a mediator, Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine?
@@terjeoseberg990 Russia getting out of Ukraine is a very bad idea. Thanks to the Ukraine war, Russian oil is available at a discount. Besides, a prolonged war is also expected to bring about disruptive changes within the whole of Europe; that will be very beneficial for other continents viz. Asia, Africa and Latin America. This rebalance, away from Europe is long long overdue. We definitely did not start this war; but now that the war has started, it is not in our interest that peace should return to Europe soon or ever.
@@vchitnis, Are you insane?
@@vchitnis, Yes. You’re delusional and insane. Russia will be kicked out of Ukraine and BRICS isn’t going anywhere. Russia’s pathetic military will become even more pathetic and the west will grow stronger.
@@terjeoseberg990he seems a shady handle.
Really nice perspective, love your channel

Yes, India's potential role in the UA/RU war does raise many questions. I can see several possibilities especially considering India's recent actions in multiple domains. I only wish the best for all involved.

Surya Sir, can we do a show on: Rising Bharat 2024 | Ex-Secretary of State, USA, Mike Pompeo At Rising Bharat Summit | N18V Speaking at the Rising Bharat Summit, Former United States Secretary of State said that the confict between India and Pakistan has always been risky. He said that the the risk of misunderstanding is “very real”, adding that consequences and bad things take place very quickly. “Neither nation had a great deal of trust with each other,” Pompeo said. Recounting a national security incident where a pilot was captured e said, “there was lots of anxiety and risk along the conflict zone but it became pretty clear and we were able to effectively demonstrate that the risk that the other side was moving towards using a nuclear weapon was very very low and we were able to take the tension down over the course of just a handful of hours.”

No. Russia should give Ukraine everything between Ukraine and Kazakhstan, or Ukraine should take it.
If someone took 20% of your house and unalived large numbers of your family would you still feel the same way?
@@orionoregon974 Ukraine is part of the house known as the "Soviet Union". If Ukraine was allowed to separate from the Soviet Union then Donbas must be allowed to be separated from Ukraine as well. If Donbas isn't allowed then Ukraine isn't allowed as well. Crimea was a gift to Ukraine from Soviet Union.
