On Friday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he agreed with India’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict since India and Russia have a long history that everyone understands and appreciates. “Talking to Narendra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today made it obvious that he has already intervened several times and I’m sure this is no secret from our Indian (media) friends, he has talked to Vladimir Putin several times,” Boris Johnson said, acknowledging India’s strong condemnation of what happened in Ukraine’s Bucha.

“All Indians want is peace, and Russia must leave.” I concur completely. And I believe there is a difference in balance because India has a long-standing and mutually beneficial relationship with Russia, which everyone recognizes and appreciates,” the UK Prime Minister remarked.

“What’s fascinating about the last few days is how the push against authoritarian coercion, whether it’s Russia or China or anything, has encouraged and compelled Britain and India to work together more. And that entails a massive, massive collaborative agenda “the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said

One of the controversial subjects discussed by the UK PM with PM Modi and foreign minister S Jaishankar was India’s position on the continuing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

In the United Nations, India abstained from voting against Russia, although also denounced the violence. At the same time, India’s commerce with Russia has continued. While New Delhi’s attitude did not sit well with the US, Boris Johnson stayed out of the fray, expressing a clear understanding of India’s position.

Boris Johnson put no pressure on Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla over the Russia-Ukraine crisis, according to Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla. “They did address the Ukraine problem, but there was no pressure,” Johnson said after meeting Prime Minister Modi, whom he dubbed his “khaas dost” (special friend). “Prime Minister Johnson expressed his thoughts on the matter, and Prime Minister Modi expressed ours, which is that the Russia-Ukraine conflict should be ended promptly. There was no such thing as pressure “insisted the foreign secretary.

Boris Johnson, who just met Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, said the UK aims to restore its embassy in Kyiv next week when asked about the Russia-Ukraine situation in general. Putin’s offensive will not be tolerated by the UK and its friends, according to Prime Minister David Cameron.
