India believes Russia has "legitimate interests" in Ukraine — a position that is opposed to the stand of the West on the latest crisis. Interestingly, China has opposed Russia's intervention in Crimea, deviating from a long-standing support to Moscow in the UN Security Council.
A statement by MEA on Thursday said India is "concerned at the subsequent escalation of tension, especially in view of the presence of more than 5000 Indian nationals, including about 4000 students, in different parts of Ukraine". However, when questioned, national security adviser Shivshankar Menon said, "There are legitimate Russian and other interests involved and we hope they are discussed and resolved."
However, the MEA papered over the NSA's comment, calling "for a legitimate democratic process to find full expression through free and fair elections that provide for an inclusive society." "India calls for sincere and sustained diplomatic efforts to ensure that issues between Ukraine and its neighbouring countries are resolved through constructive dialogue," said the statement.
