Shashi Tharoor speaks on diplomacy in Russia-Ukraine conflict, India's role
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor spoke about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, highlighting that Prime Minister Modi has consistently supported a diplomatic solution. Tharoor noted that while Presidents Trump and Putin have had discussions, a peace process involves more than just two leaders talking—it requires all parties, especially Ukraine, to be involved. He emphasized that the key actors in the conflict are those directly engaged on the ground and those supplying weapons. Regarding India’s role, Tharoor mentioned that India has not been asked to intervene yet, and the country should wait and observe until invited. He added that India has a long history of peacekeeping but any involvement would depend on the specifics of the agreement. On the return of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams to Earth, Tharoor expressed relief and pride, emphasizing that although she was not born or raised in India, her connection to the country through the diaspora made her return even more special.
