Dr Dalbir Ahlawat, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Security Studies and Criminology at Macquarie University, says India can't risk siding with the US or Russia on the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine. He said India has taken a safe approach by abstaining from a vote on the Ukraine issue in the UN Security Council (UNSC). Dr Ahlawat said India was silent on the issue in the recent Quad meeting of foreign ministers in Melbourne last week. Dr Ahlawat put things into perspective in this podcast.
