New Delhi : Russian military action against Ukraine is unfortunate, said CPI(M) Polit Bureau and urged both countries to put an end to the war immediately. Peace must be restored. There is much anxiety caused by the armed conflict, said PB.
In violation its assurance to Soviet Union post dissolution, the U.S. is steadily advancing towards its eastern borders. Attempting to take in Ukraine into the NATO ambit poses direct threat to Russian security.
Russia has grave concerns over NATO troops and missiles piling outside its borders on the east. Thus Russia’s demand to respect its security and exclude Ukraine from NATO membership is only fair.
The US and NATO refusals to take heed, and Russian deployment of more troops is worsening the crisis further. To restore peace, the problems faced by people in the Donbas region of Ukraine must be addressed. Talks must resume and both parties should honour agreements struck in the past.
Meanwhile, the Indian govt must ensure safety for thousands of students stranded in Ukraine. Measures must taken to evacuate all Indians from the war zone, said PB in its statement.
