India does not want to say in advance how it will vote at the UN General Assembly on a likely draft resolution condemning Russia’s claimed annexation of parts of Ukraine, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar said on Monday. “As a matter of prudence and policy, we do not predict our votes in advance,” Jaishankar said during a joint press conference with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong in Canberra.
The General Assembly is expected to vote on the draft resolution on Tuesday or Wednesday, diplomats said. Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution tabled late last month by the United States and Albania condemning the claimed annexation, with China, Gabon, India and Brazil abstaining.
