Support Ukraine 1

Like India has already abstained so many times during votes in the UN Security Council that it does not count any more. And we have lost our moral high ground. Agreed that Russia has supported us in the past but does that mean India supports all mad ideas of Russian dictators? And if Russia was truly our friend then Indian students would be flying out from Russia and not Poland and Romania and Moldova. The war in Ukraine has brought into focus Eastern European countries and the flashpoint between them and Russia. There is no guarantee that Russia is going to stop at Ukraine so the world must act. Ukraine may not be a part of NATO but it surely is a part of this world. Not just embargoes but militarily Ukraine must be supported. And as Christiane Amanpour suggested on CNN Russia must be thrown out as permanent member of the UN Security Council, a seat it inherited from USSR, it was never voted in.
