Islamabad, India’s professed neutral position in the ongoing Ukraine conflict has come into question following the emergence of a video showing Ukrainian forces using Indian-made weapons. This development raises concerns about India’s diplomatic relations, particularly with Russia.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the video circulating online has sparked critical examination of India’s foreign policy regarding the Ukraine war. India has been trying to maintain friendly relations with both Russia and Ukraine, but the apparent presence of its arms in Ukraine suggests a contradiction in its stance. India has abstained from condemning Russia at the United Nations and has expressed concerns about the impact of the war.

This recent revelation could challenge India’s diplomatic efforts to maintain a balanced approach in its foreign policy. The country’s historical ties with Russia, in particular, could be strained if it is perceived as supplying arms to Ukraine. Experts warn that any such involvement risks undermining India’s position as a neutral party in the conflict.

Additionally, the video raises questions about the depth of India’s involvement in the conflict. There are suggestions that some of the weapons used by Ukraine might be of Indian origin, possibly supplied through joint production agreements. This complicates the situation further, as it blurs the lines between a stance of neutrality and active participation in the conflict.

The implications of this development on India’s foreign relations and its position in the international community remain to be seen.
