India, citing the "totality of the evolving situation," has abstained on a UNSC resolution, vetoed by Russia, that would have condemned Moscow's “illegal referenda” and declared its annexation of four Ukrainian territories as invalid.
UNSC voted on Friday on the draft resolution tabled by the US and Albania on “Illegal So-Called Referenda in Ukraine”, hours after Putin, signed treaties to annex the Ukrainian regions.
