New Delhi: The Permanent Representative of India at the United Nations (UN) Ruchira Kamboj has expressed concern about the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine. On the endless-looking matter, she said that the impact of the Ukraine conflict is not just limited to Europe. It has exacerbated concerns over food, fertilizer, and fuel security, especially in developing countries.
At UNSC briefing Ukraine Forced displacement of Ukrainian civilians/Russian filtration camps on Wednesday, the permanent representative said, “The New Delhi government will continue to work with the International Community to mitigate economic hardships resulting from the Ukraine conflict,”
“It is necessary for all of us to appreciate the importance of equity, affordability, and accessibility adequately,” she added.
Ruchira Kamboj highlighted that in the last three months, India has exported more than 1.8 million tons of wheat to countries in need, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Yemen. We continue to emphasize to all member states that the global order be anchored on international law, the UN Charter, and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states.
Ruchira Kamboj also said that “the Council would recall that since the commencement of the conflict in Ukraine, India has been consistently calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to violence. The situation in Ukraine has not shown any significant improvement since the Council last discussed the conflict in Ukraine and its humanitarian consequences.”
At the last, she said, India hoped that the international community will continue to respond positively to the call for humanitarian assistance. India has recently dispatched its twelfth consignment of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This humanitarian aid and assistance are in keeping with the human-centric approach of the Indian Government.
