Russia-Ukraine conflict
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T.S. Tirumurti has told the Ambassador of the Netherlands to the U.K. that "Kindly don't patronise us," New Delhi "knows what to do" when the Dutch envoy said India should not have abstained in the U.N. General Assembly on Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian forces launched military operations in Ukraine, three days after Moscow recognised Ukraine's breakaway regions—Donetsk and Luhansk—as independent entities.
