At the United Nation General Assembly on February 24, India called for global peace and security. With the day marking a year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj explained why India abstained from the UN vote on Ukraine and also pointed out its help to earthquake-hit Turkey.

She said, “We are providing humanitarian support to Ukraine and some of its neighbours in the Global South under economic distress, even as they stare at the accelerating costs of food, fuel and fertilizers which have been a consequential fall out of the ongoing conflict”
