NEW DELHI - Last month, India decided to abstain from a procedural vote to discuss the Ukraine crisis at the United Nations Security Council.
Russia, with only Chinese support, lost the vote by a 10 to two margin with three abstentions - resulting in a Security Council meeting on Ukraine on Jan 31. India, Gabon and Kenya, which are all non-permanent members of the council, abstained.
