India on Thursday abstained on a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly adopted by a majority that criticised Russia for creating a 'dire' humanitarian situation by its military invasion of Ukraine. The UNGA passed the resolution drafted by Ukraine & its allies by 140 votes in favour and 38 abstentions. Russia, Syria, North Korea, Eritrea and Belarus cast the five negative votes. Like the voting on the March 2 resolution in the UNGA, China and Pakistan joined India on the abstention bench. Backed by Russia, South Africa had proposed another resolution on Ukraine. However, the UNGA supported Ukraine’s successful attempt to block voting on the South African initiative. India abstained on the question of whether the South African draft should be put to the vote.
