Tensions are rising between Ukraine and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the deployment of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine after recognizing two rebel-held territories as free territories. The two regions are Donetsk and Luhansk.
Putin has ordered Russian troops to enter the area. Western nations have reacted sharply to Putin's announcement, and there is a strong possibility that the United States and Europe could impose sanctions on Russia.
The situation created by the Ukraine crisis has also put India in a dilemma. Historically, India has sided with Russia on Ukraine, but things are different now than they were in 2014. Russia occupied the Ukrainian region of Crimea in March 2014, and India rarely spoke on the issue, but whenever it did, it spoke in Russia's favor.
At a Security Council meeting on the Ukraine crisis, India on Tuesday called on all parties to exercise restraint. TS Trimurti, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said India was monitoring developments in Ukraine.
He said India was watching the developments on Ukraine's eastern border and the situation arising out of Russia's declaration. He said the escalation of tensions on the Russian-Ukrainian border was a matter of grave concern and that such incidents could affect security and safety in the region.
