  India doesn’t give a shit unless it serves their interests. If anyone thinks they’re “friends” with the West they’re wrong.
context: Ukraine won't negotiate until it gets back all of its territories, and the Russians don't see Ukraine as a legitimate state. Diplomacy between the two is impossible. >
  
  Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, in which Russia guaranteed to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
  Until Russia complies with that document which it signed in 1994, its signature on a new 'peace treaty' document is worthless. >
  
  You neglected to mention the most important aspect of that memorandum: UKRAINE GAVE UP THEIR NUKES IN RETURN FOR A PEACE GUARANTEE FROM RUSSIA. 
  And Russia invaded anyway.  Absolute scum of the earth. They will die, rot, and fade into the lost abyss of history. And it’s all on Putin’s hands. >
  
  What’s crazy to me is propaganda coming from our own country.  Turn on fox for a night. It’s praising Putin 24/7.  Fucking insane what conservatives are tuning into. >
  
  
  Fucking insane what conservatives are tuning into.
  
  Nah, they're just finally coming into the light and exposing what they've always been. >
  
  Republicans used to just be a counter argument and could argue well. They have chosen a path of extreme polarization. If you label them like this, it doesn’t help the situation. We all need to get back to arguing points of contention and not attacking each other. >
  
  I’ve been voting for 20yrs. What is this magical time you think you’re speaking of? 
  When did we not attack each other? >
  
  The attacks used to not be so personal. It was better up until Clinton. I think the whole Monica Lewinsky thing was an extreme personal assault. Once it went there, it just got more personal and directed. John McCain ran a campaign that was not a personal assault on Obama. I think he remembers and was a product of a better time in American politics. >
  
  I propose post Nixon. Maybe further but certainly before well before Clinton. Remember how stupidly problematic the Bushes were? 
  John McCain was just a truly great human. He lived his truth, his love, his valor out loud like no other. I didn’t agree with him on many things, but his record is unimpeachable.
  I think similarly about Mitt Romney… tho I will still always prefer a military family. You just can’t send families to war without 1st hand knowledge of what war does to families. IMO 
  We still have great humans. It just looks more fem and more diverse. >
  
  What further discussion really needs to be had? What exactly do they even mean? Zelenskyy has already made it clear what it takes for peace. Just. Fucking. LEAVE. >
  
  This is India's diplomatic way of saying to their dear friend Russia, "Bruh, we cannot support you further.  Resolve this before WW3 begins."
  India is unique:
  1)  India is super tight with Russia (for the past 100 years, so pre-Putin).  
  2)  Yet India is loyal to the secular, democratic West / USA.  Period.  Nothing will ever change that, unless the religious-extremist GOP takes over America.
  In this era, the Axis of Evil is currently made up of dictators/religious extremist fascists: 
   Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, TURKEY, North Korea, China........  Qatar.... I guess all of the Middle East....  
  The Allies are democratic nations:  USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea.  (I'm not too familiar with South American and African politics, I mean no offence if I've left anyone out.)
  India will always side with the Allies in war time.  Always.
  Previously, when Putin started his invasion of Ukraine, India did not call them out publicly.  But India was very disappointed in Russia.
  Imagine if one of your bffs does something terrible which lands them in the news....  you're not going to step in front of the camera and berate them.  You're going to speak to them in private, chastise them in private, and try to help them resolve whatever the fuck they just started.
  That's what India did.  
  They 
  However, loyalty and friendship can only take you so far.  Russia is quite possibly going to start WW3.  Putin has a big ego.  He won't back down from this.  If he loses, he'll take all of us down with him.
  Russia is not listening to India behind the scenes.  Putin cannot be made to see reason.  So India is now appealing to Russia publicly....  (but still in a diplomatic way.  Instead of calling Putin out...  India is framing it as "Putin & Zelenskyy need to sort this out.")
  I hope Putin gets the message.  If Russia starts WW3, India will stand with the democratic West. >
  
  every time, in the 24-hour period when china and india synchronously express "concern", russia launches a massive strike on civilian objects in ukraine. there should be a clear signal instead: the aggressor must stop the aggression. >
  
  Statecraft is not that simple.  Statecraft isn't black and white.
  A massive chunk of India was broken off in 1947 to create Pakistan.  (The same year that Israel & Palestine were split) and no one did anything to help India.
  India doesn't complain, yet China and Pakistan threaten India's borders literally all the time.  ALL the time.  Pakistan plans terrorist attacks and kills Indian civilians.  Yet no one stands up for India.
  India understands.  Everyone wants to stay on China's good side since everything is manufactured there and they hold so much of America's debt.
  India understands that, by some God-forsaken happenstance, Pakistan is a nuclear terrorist state pretending to be a Western ally.  We understand that no one wants to rock the nuclear-terrorist-state-boat.  Hell, Pakistan was sheltering Osama fucking Bin Laden for YEARS, knowing full-well he was a wanted man.  Pakistan was harbouring the world's most wanted man, yet Pakistan faced zero repercussions.  Again.  We get it.  Nobody says anything to Pakistan.  India understands.
  India doesn't expect anyone to help them.
  India helps the little (littler) guy when they need it, like when India donated 235 million covid vaccines to 98 nations such as Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Morocco, South Africa, Afghanistan, Mexico, DR Congo, Nigeria, and even the UK when their supplies ran low.
  If it comes to WW3, India will always fight with the secular, democratic West, as it has always done.  But in the meantime, India won't make an enemy out of Russia, who has been a close ally for the past 100 years (pre-Putin).  India barking out orders and condemnation isn't going to change Putin's mind.  So it's better to stay as diplomatic as possible publicly, while internally telling Putin to stop, which I'm sure India has already done.
  Again, statecraft is rarely black and white.  Look at what India has been through, how it's been ravaged, and how it continues to be threatened on a daily basis.  India doesn't expect nor ever receive help in her foreign affairs, and India does not meddle in the foreign affairs of others (other than offer humanitarian aid).
  But when WW3 starts, whenever that may be, trust that India will always stand with the diplomatic and secular West. >

  India had Just gotten the British to leave and made it very clear to them that they wanted to handle their own internal affairs. How was any western power supposed to swoop in and help India? They would've been painted as colonial invaders no matter what they did in a young, barely defined India that was dealing with internal, religious strife. >
  
  Why wasn't the British put on stand for their crimes against humanity when Germany and Japan had to suffer? If we are talking about morals here, why hasn't the British government apologised for the pillaging and cultural genocide they did in India for over 200+ years ?? >
  
  There's a simple reason why, Germany and Japan were forced out of the countries they invaded and pillaged by a foreign country using massive amounts of force and a huge war.
  India, while there are lots of instances of violent resistance, was mostly driven by peaceful civil disobedience. India made themselves ungovernable. Britain eventually decided to exit peacefully.
  The result meant that Britain wasn't nearly destroyed and the loser of a war like Germany and Japan were post WW2.
  The atrocities they had committed were not exposed in the same way, and given they decided to peacefully transfer power I suspect most were more interested in looking to the future and taking what good there was and trying to go forward with it rather than focusing on the past. >

  Peaceful my arse! I've heard first hand account of the atrocities the Brits comitted in India, my grand dad was born in 1908 and lived till 2007. I've heard stories from my great uncle's and aunts too, from land grabbing to getting their wrist repeatedly stomped over for holding the then adopted National Congress flag.   
  The colonist were utter grade A cunt of human beings who deserved arse cancer.  
  Looking past the past my arse. Fuck the colonizing cunts and fuck that racist cunt Churchill and fuck the racist fucking royal family too. >

  Yep. Hence the "mostly". There were lots of atrocities, that's why I mentioned atrocities.
  
  Looking past the past my arse. Fuck the colonizing cunts and fuck that racist cunt Churchill and fuck the racist fucking royal family too.
  
  Yep. I agree completely. I think at the time (when a lot of peace treaties and the like are agreed) people chose to look past what others have done and build a future.
  Now, however, we can certainly look with a critical and more objective eye and I think it's good to address how shitty and racist colonial imperialism was.
  It was more peaceful than liberation of Japan and Germany though, and didn't involve the almost complete destruction of Britain, which is why it was very different and there's less focus on the bad things. Because the power structures that did them still existed to cover them up, and still had allies, and was still work keeping on the good side of etc. I was just explaining the reason why it's treated differently. Not denying it happened. >
  
  Obviously there can be no dialogue while there are still russians in Ukraine >
  
  Can't wait for China to take over half of India and Ukraine urges dialogue. >
  
  Unlikely, China doesn't have an invasion force capable of crossing the Himalayas >
  
  Ukraine won't accept any terms that include giving land to Russia and Russia won't accept any terms that include not getting land. 
  It is truly sad that we will continue to fight this war that will cause deaths to thousands and hardships to millions only to reach the same conclusion once Russia runs out of steam. Putin has apparently never heard of the phrase cut your losses and run so he'll continue to pick lose-lose options until he is assassinated or runs out of losing options to pick from. >
  
  sunken cost fallacy >
  
  The proplem with being a public figure, is that perception becomes reality.
  Sunken cost might be a fallacy but what does it mean in the eyes of the Russian people? >
  
  They can dialogue when he last Z-goblin is out of Ukraine. Including Crimea. >
  
  And the last Ukrainian that was kidnapped by them returned! >
  
  No point in "dialogue".  Putin lies.  He never keeps his promises.  If this war is to end, the only way for it to end is when Russia withdraws all its troops from Ukraine, including Crimea.  Then peace negotiations can begin.  The first topic of discussion should be reparations for the rebuilding of Ukraine, and to give to the survivors of the war. >
  
  Reading between the lines, I think that India is a little concerned about China. The sooner Putin and his "operation" are ended the sooner the world can focus more attention on China and North Korea. The Norks (and to a lesser extent the CPLA) are attention whores and are feeling left out lately, as evidenced by the recent spate of "test launches" and other statements.
  I think that India doesn't want any kind of conflict on their doorstep. Trade routes to the US would be impacted. So...India would prefer if the US and friends rattled sabers in a more easterly direction. >
  
  To say nothing of the prospect of direct conflict between India and China. >
  
  MAD applies to them just as much as it does to India and Pakistan, or NATO and Russia. >
  
  
  MAD applies to them just as much as it does to India and Pakistan, or NATO and Russia.
  
  That’s never seemed to stop their border fights and conflicts over water, though it has made them medieval sometimes. >
  
  There have been no conflicts over water. And the "medieval" thing is by design through agreement between the two countries to not arm soldiers along the border. This agreement and MAD is what keeps the border fights to small skirmishes and prevents them from escalating further. So MAD is in fact working. >
  
  Soldiers on the India-China border with sticks: "We get dirty, and the world stays clean. That's the mission." >
  
  I like peace. I enjoy dimplomacy, negotiation and compromise. And with all that said, currently there is no point in Putin and Zelensky meeting. There is no conceivable peace plan that both would accept. Ukraine will not give terrotory when they have been beating russian soldiers every day of the week, and Putin is not gonna take the L and accept he has been humilliated. Any pretense that Putin and Zelenskyy can iron it out if they get in a room together is farcical. >
  
  100% agreed. There is very little use in any form of dialogue on peace (other things like nuclear power plants and prisoner swaps should still be discussed) until the war has progressed further. It is stupid to pretend otherwise. >
  
  There’s no dialogue to be had. Russia needs to get the fuck out of non-Russian territory, THEN maybe there’s a discussion to be had on reparations. >
  
  Definitely should be negotiations.
  How much money and Russian territory is putin going to give? >
  
  He should honor the proposed Ukraine borders of 1919. Spoiler alert: Russia doesn't get black sea coast that way >
  
  I hate this narrative... that somehow, somewhere Zelenskyy and Putin will sit down and reconcile their differences and make amends. Dialogue what exactly? Russia straight up cold-cocked Ukraine and is committing war crimes every day... Jeezus they are launching missiles randomly into Ukrainian cities! Fuck that... the world needs to hold Putin accountable for these atrocities and Russia needs to BACK THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE! >
  
  
  Jeezus they are launching missiles randomly into Ukrainian cities!
  
  Wasting precision weapons on random targets is massively inefficient whether you are evil or not. The problem is russian missiles aren't that precise (30-50m CEP). Also, there are air defense systems. They don't vaporize missiles in the air. Debris still hits random places and, depending on damage to the missile (and fuse type), warhead can still go off, but not at its intended target. >
  
  Nope… the time for talking has passed. There is only one acceptable outcome. Russia leaving Ukraine, returning control of the occupied territories and paying reparations. >
  
  The only urging should be for Putin to GTFO >
  
  Here's how that 'dialogue' needs to go:
  Ukraine: "Remove all your troops and equipment from all areas of Ukraine and Crimea, cease all bombing, missile, and drone attacks, issue a public apology for all the death and destruction Russia has caused, surrender perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity to the World Court for prosecution (including Vladimir Putin), and pay reparations for all the damage done since you began your illegal and immoral invasion of our sovereign country.
  Russia: "Okay" >
  
  What dialog? 
  That is code for give Russia the land it has stolen and time to prepare for its next attack without hindrance. >
  
  Hey never mind that’s the standard advisory template that of  USA and EU whenever India wanted to take action on Pak for all the terrst activity on our soil  just have dialog while giving Pak mimlitary aid that’s used against India .
  so I believe it’s applicable here also. >
  
  Interesting how supportive India has been of Russia’s colonialism efforts given India’s history. >
  
  How about Russia leaves Ukraine >
  
  Maybe less trying to be Putins sock puppet and more not facilitating Russia's war effort. >
  
  There is literally no room for dialogue. Russia leaves, returns the Ukrainians it has kidnapped, and pays reparations. 
  All of these countries asking for dialogue should be ashamed of themselves. >
  
  Didn't they try?   There was the time Russia reached out:
  Russia:  "We want you to give us all of Eastern Ukraine to be part of Russia."
  Ukraine:  "No."
  And that time Ukraine reached out:
  Ukraine:  "We want to leave our country."
  Russia: "No."
  So, what does India expect to happen this time? >
  
  Anyone urging ‘a dialogue’ either doesn’t understand the situation (unlikely) or thinks Ukrainian should just hand over their stolen land for the sake of ‘peace’.
  Fuck that.  Russia should get the fuck out of Ukrainian, including Crimea.  That would be the only negotiation Ukrainian could accept without sealing its fate as Russias bitch. >
  
  At this point negotiation would be good only for Putin, to get some time to train new troops and buy new weapons. >
  
  empty statements. the translation: "we can't care less" >
  
  It's kinda hard to have a dialogue when the Russians are genocidal. >
  
  Ukraine is down for dialogue, on their terms. Appeasing Russia doesn't work, they tried that in 2014 >
  
  
  100% agreed. There is very little use in any form of dialogue on peace (other things like nuclear power plants and prisoner swaps should still be discussed) until the war has progressed further. It is stupid to pretend otherwise.
  
  This is something that a lot of folks seem to forget. 
  The entire situation in Donetsk and Donbas are because we (The West in this case) tried to appease Putin. We made the appropriate diplomatic noises, but didn't follow any of that up with actual support for Ukraine. 
  We also then had 4 years of inarguably complicit US leadership and the election of a 'weak' Zelenskyy (lololol at him being weak) that ultimately led to Putin thinking that he could just take over Ukraine over a weekend. 
  10 months later, Putin has little to show it. Any gains in land that they have made are fully countered by NATO expansion into the Nordics, a generally stronger NATO, and the public display of kleptocratic failure that is the Russian military. >
  
  This isn’t a war. It is one country defending itself from takeover by another country. India should tell Russia to stop invading Ukraine. >
  
  That's normally what a war is. >
  
  India’s comment implies it is a mutual effort. Instead, it is one sovereign nation trying not to be taken by force. >
  
  I too urge Zelensky to open a dialogue.  Immediately after the Russian withdrawal.  Do not wait.  Start negotiations right then! >
  
  I have a better idea - let every country that truly support Ukraine send its military forces to Ukraine as peacemakers in order to oust russia. Isn't it one of the main purposes why UN exists? >
  
  Me to my kids: guys please stop yelling. If you’re gonna fight, go upstairs and don’t break anything!!! Mommy’s tired >
  
  They want Ukraine to have diplomacy with a guy that has a history of breaking treaties? 
  Maybe India's grave concerns are not that grave, since it isnt really thought out properly. >
  
  I believe there is history between India and Ukraine who provided uranium to Pakistan but not India. So no love lost. oil at 50% discount is a bonus >
  
  Also more arms over the years including the current ongoing contract for tanks and licking paki boots at UN by trying to introduce random sanctions and petitions. >
  
  No need for dialogue. Peace can be achieved in a  day by the Russians literally just going home instead of invading an independent nation for no reason >
  
  *And exiling Putin. >
  
  There will be no dialogue because neither party will concede anything. >
  
  Both will not negotiate. It is impossible >
  
  The Allies should'of negotiated peace with the Nazis.
  India should'of negotiated a truce with their ruling British
  Dialogue™ >
  
  Nobody should offer dialogue with Nazi, even back in the day. Look at history, they'll only swallow more. >
  
  These words are meaningless and Modhi knows this.  It's really Modhi saying, "hey we don't like this war.  Let history know that even though we continue sending lot's of money to Russia we still don't like this war'.   Ukraine was invaded by an aggressor state.  If the same happened to India he wouldn't "negotiate" a settlement. >
  
  Mr. Putin please do the needful and leave the sovereign state of Ukraine. Please do not come again. Thank you. >
  
  Here is the dialog..."Russia, get the fuck out!". Conflict resolved. >
  
  russia is the one who invaded Ukraine since 2014. Just get outta Ukraine >
  
  Zelensky wanted to talk to putin during first days of war but putin kept rejecting it thinking he will take Kiev by force in few days. >
  
  The only dialogue to be had is for Russia to fuck off all parts of Ukraine.. especially crimea. 
  That’s the only negotiation that’s ok. Oh and never fucking come back. >
  
  Says the country still slurping up Russian oil. Stfu India. >
  
  "You cannot settle differences and issues through violence"
  "“We know this is not (an) easily resolvable situation. But it's important that countries who believe (in)...negotiation, speak up clearly in that regard…,"
  "maintaining that the crisis should be resolved through dialogue." 
  " Jaishankar also noted that India has vastly improved its relationship with Bangladesh. "We have settled our land boundary agreement with them. It's an example of how successful diplomacy has directly contributed to a stronger relationship (between two neighbours),” he said." 
  So violent criminals break into your home (again) and they start beating you in your sleep. You're almost killed but manage to establish a defense on the western side of your house. There's a bunch of thugs in your kitchen. Your family members fend off further entry but many of them are dying in the process.
  In the past, they already took control of your greenhouse in the backyard. 
  How is this a "difference?" Just that word alone makes me question if they speak in good faith or even understand the situation. 
  Negotiation, dialogue, diplomacy? How is "get the fuck out of my house" not clear enough? This is not a land boundary dispute (lol, wtf?). 
  PUTIN. WANTS. TO. ERASE. UKRAINE. 
  If you want to end the war, It's time to quit fucking around SEND AID AND WEAPONS in large quantities and STOP FEEDING THE BEAST. 
  If you're buying their gas and not calling them out aggressively, you are a part of the problem. 
  Jfc.
  Slava Ukraini >
  
  Then India should stop buying Russian oil. >
  
  I wonder how willing India would be to open dialogue for peace if, say Pakistan, we're to invade them.  Bonus points for how they would like other countries bitching at them for talks in such a scenario.
  Chances are pretty much zero, so India can go fuck itself. >
  
  Such grave concern that they have put extra effort into trading with Russia >
  
  It's strange how so many country's leaders seem to think that Russia and Ukraine just got into a bit of an argument, then started throwing rocks at each other.  Ukraine did not incite war.... Russia attacked with no cause..... Ukraine has put up with continued destruction and death while Russia/Putin make up nutty excuses and babble about Ukraine belonging to them.
  How does anyone reasonably see civil negotiations going?  Russia already knows it was wrong and should just leave Ukraine alone.  Russia committed horrific war crimes and wants to annihilate all Ukrainians.  How would you reasonably negotiate with that?
  Ukraine just wants peace.... and possession of their lands.  If they give up land to Russia now, they are setting themselves and other countries up for more lands grabs (and more wars) in the near future.  Anything that "rewards" Russia for these crimes will empower them and cause them to do more evil.
  Saying you want the war to end is not the same as stating that the two countries should negotiate peace.  How?  Russia will not allow for peace.  They want conflict and destruction.
  The longer the world turns their back and waits for this war to end, the more empowered Russia becomes.  The strategy for ending this war and preventing future conflict is to assist  Ukraine to have a quick victory and to show Russia that their actions will not be tolerated. >
  
  Isn’t it clear that India stands with Russia, just like China? >
  
  Ukraine already negotiated peace and safety by giving up nuclear weapons. Russia is a terrorist state, how can you expect any diplomacy and word-keeping? Any negotiations will be used against Ukraine. >
  
  A better anti-war expression would be if India stopped buying all that oil from Russia. India can't say it's not taking sides when it's actively paying the bills for Russia's war machine. >
  
  Hasn't India proven several times in the past year that they literally do not give a fuck about the war, only about their trades? >
  
  We are extremely concerned that an empowered Ukraine could put our supply of dirt cheap Russian oil and gas in jeopardy. >
  
  India is probably concerned that it's losing its source of military kit and spare parts.  India is the largest buyer of Russian military hardware. >
  
  dialogue about what? they don;t need to talk about anything Russia  needs to leave then they can talk about how Russia will repay for all the damage. 
  India is pretending to care while buying Russia oil >
  
  Empty words. Impose sanctions and stop buying oil. >
  
  It's useless to call for dialogue.
  Russia will never leave the occupied territories, and Ukraine will never leave the occupied territories to them because it would basically letting them win and incentive a new invasion later down the line. >
  
  I'm sure they'll be just as eager for peace if China or Pakistan started annexing Indian land. >
  
  Both of those countries currently occupy land India claims as its own. They heat up now and again but for the most part India pursues a diplomatic approach. 
  All three are nuclear powers though so there's that. >
  
  To be fair, I’d differentiate between india claiming land administered by Pakistan versus Pakistan shelling Indian cities and marching battalion sized elements and tanks into them. And i mean, Pakistan and China are near peer rivals militarily. It’s not like India is invading a country like Ukraine that’s got a fraction of its military resources >
  
  They both have nukes - no military is stronger than a nuclear bomb >
  
  By that logic, the US and North Korea are also peer rivals lmao. >
  
  Yes, they are sooooo concerned while they buy up that oil which funds the war. Hypocrites >
  
  India has no influence over war monger Putin, other than enjoying the cheap oil. They are cashing in on the conflict. Expressing their concern means nothing. >
  
  The audacity of people that demand BOTH SIDES to stop war is astounding. Ukraine didn’t started that war and should not gift aggressor land and millions of citizens just to stop it. It’s not like Ukraine is going to continue war after pushing russians out of country borders. 
  You want to stop war? Demand agressor to pull out troops and stop attacking civilians with rockets. War will end the next day. >
  
  Loving the meltdown of reddit diplomats here just because India is doing what it has always done: staying neutral. >
  
  Imagine if China annexed an Indian province and the only response the US or Russia gave was that the situation was “concerning”. I have a feeling that response wouldn’t be taken well by India either. 
  Doing nothing to stop bad things doesn’t make you neutral, and india has the capability to do so as one of Russia’s more powerful friends. But they’ve chosen not to. Just because you’re “neutral” doesn’t mean you’re then above criticism or that being neutral is the morally correct thing to do >
  
  That's not how geopolitics works. And as such we don't expect any help from the west >
  
  Oh trust me, after this, y’all can be assured you won’t have any powerful friends. Russia is a paper tiger that’s collapsing, China hates your guts, Pakistan hates your guts, and the US/Europe are sick of the cozying up to Russia. If losing every powerful country as a friend is the goal, well then by god, mission accomplished lol >
  
  Cant wait for the us to help us even more when China gets more aggressive, we both hate china and we will keep getting US support against em so cry harder lil kiddo >
  
  The US has Japan, South Korea, Australia and pretty much every other nation in eastern Asia on its side, along with a military budget that is multiples of china’s size. The US doesn’t need Indian support for that lmao, India will continue to be an afterthought for US policy makers due to its unreliability >
  
  There's nothing to negotiate unless it's the unconditional surrender and complete withdrawal (including Crimea) by Russia. Otherwise, India needs to butt out unless they're gonna help the Ukrainians. >
  
  “We won’t speak up because we’re getting oil in n the discount” >
  
  So basically India wants to be able to purchase Russian oil without getting shamed.  Got it. >
  
  There is a dialog:
  PUTIN: "Give us what I want."
  UKRAINE: "No." >
  
  Even if peace was inexplicably declared tomorrow, Russia has proven time and time again that they don't respect treaties.
  I suspect lasting peace in Ukraine will be achieved by first kicking Russian forces completely out of all Ukrainian territory, then second Ukraine joining NATO to keep Russia honest. >
  
  We are soo concerned - "buys more cheap oil" - you need to talk.  
  India should join sanctions if they are so concerned. So Putin has more of a reason to actually stop. >
  
  Lol
  Dialogue with Putin. Good luck! Genuinely, I would love for anyone to call Putin on his bs and then force him to back down and pay reparations. I’d say a large chunk of Russia would be a nice start. Say a Ukraine size piece. To illustrate what happens next time he makes a resource grab while pretending he’s defending. >
  
  I am just now watching "Litvinenko", and my assessment is: There is zero avenue to have any semblance of a rational discussion with dictator pussy. He is a psychopath, and there is only one way to deal with him. >
  
  Are India loosing money because of this war or what? >
  
  Tell the aggressors to leave, and give back Crimea. >
  
  I’ve been seeing a lot of indian news channels spout pro russian propaganda on the war. Pretty sus to me. Or maybe rt and the other suspects are trying to rout platform bans >
  
  Putin is willing to negotiate. Negotiations begin with the unconditional surrender of NATO and his declaration as King of the World. See, he’s reasonable. >
  
  ALSO India was one of the countries that Didn't condem Russia at the UN resolution. >
  
  Calls for “ negotiation“ are calls to allow what happened in Bucha to continue in every occupied town. >
  
  “We are gravely concerned that Ukraine won’t let itself be occupied”. /s >
  
  not too concerned about bankrolling the kremlin through oil imports though >
  
  Lets see China occupy 30% of India and urge them for "dialogue". Lmao. >
  
  While buying fuel at discount from Russia >
  
  Ahahaha. After a year of buying cheap oil India expresses grave concern. >
  
  This conflict has highlighted the utter failure of the BRICS.
  Can't even vocalize Russia's atrocities properly. >
  
  No dialogue needed. Russia get out. Go home!!! >
  
  "Urges Putin to stop conflict" or "Urges Putin to leave Ukraine" would be so much more suitable. India is like that wannabe mature person in highschool who ignores the context and just says "CAN'T WE JUST BE NICE TO EACH OTHER?"
  FFS >
  
  India can isolate itself from the world with Russia. >
  
  India should stop buying Russian oil if its so concerned >
  
  If Pakistan invaded and took part of India would they also say "Let's sit down and negotiate"? >
  
  Inside they must be jumping with joy for the cheap oil from Russia. >
  
  Yet they still buy Russian oil? India I hope you understand your stance on this will be noted by the west if any conflict happens with Pakistan or China >
  
  Lol, India thinking they know stuff. How about minding your own problems and talk to China? >
  
  Ah another intellectual discussion for reddit armchair diplomats. >
  
  And then India buys a bunch more oil from Russia… >
  
  India? Keep buying that Russian oil, and shut up! What a joke! >

  Also, someone please make a recording of this to play back the next time they get into a pissing match with Pakistan. >
  
  Yet they continue to trade openly with Russia. Not so concerned in actions as they are in words >
  
  hey india, kashmir, ring a belt? >
  
  Zalensky have no problem. Tell Putin to leave Ukraine land alone for Ukrainians. Zalensky is defending his father's land. Putin has no business in Ukraine >
  
  While we all want to end the war, it's hard to find middle ground between these positions:
  -- Get the fuck out our country, then we'll talk.
  -- We claim these four occupied regions, let's talk. >
  
  Mmmhmm keep buying their oil you hypocrites. >
  
  The only real solution is for a democratic revolution in Russia >
  
  Commenting for better reach >
  
  Meanwhile, India continues to buy as much Russian oil and gas as they possibly can. Words are useless India, show some action >
  
  I am pissed off at India. I will ask our government to sanction them. >
  
  Are Russian gas supplies to India being threatened or something?
