On Friday, the UN Security Council voted on the draft resolution sponsored by the United States and Albania. The draft resolution was also supported by other nations – Poland, Italy, Germany, Estonia, Luxembourg and New Zealand. 

There are 11 countries that voted in favor of the resolution. Three countries, including India, abstained.

India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador TS Tirumurti said “India is deeply disturbed by recent turns of development in Ukraine. We urge that all efforts are made for the immediate cessation of violence and hostilities. No solution can ever be arrived at the cost of human lives.”
