New Delhi, 7th March. Amid ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, an Indian-origin legislator and member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s party, Dr. Abhay Kumar Singh has come out in support of the military action against Ukraine.
Dr. Abhay Kumar Singh, who is a deputat (parallel to an MLA in India), from the Western Russian city of Kursk, justified Russian military attacking Ukraine, maintaining that the neighbouring country was given enough opportunity for talks, failing which the decision for war was taken.
In an interview to an Indian television channel, Abhay said that the Russian army was only “attacking military camps in Ukraine.” Singh further compared the attack to India’s alleged “surgical strike” on Pakistan in 2016.
Supporting the attack he said, “If China sets up its military base in Bangladesh, how will India react? It is obvious that India will not like this. NATO was formed against Russia and it did not disintegrate despite the Soviet Union breaking up and it gradually came closer to us. If Ukraine joins NATO, it will bring NATO forces closer to us as Ukraine is our neighbouring country and it would be a violation of the agreement. Our President and Parliament had no option but to act and a decision was taken (to attack Ukraine)”.
