India can convince Russia to stop Ukraine war: Polish envoy to India

New Delhi, Sept 3: Polish Ambassador of India Adam Burakowski noted that India can play a pivotal role in stabilising the world order while talking in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war. He stressed that Russia continuing the war on Ukraine even after six months is a 'major threat not only to the independence of the European country but also to global order and also to the instability in other regions.'

 

 

It is pertinent to mention that after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, it affected Europe’s frontline states including Poland. The refugess have taken shelter in the country. Poland, which borders Ukraine, has played a key role in providing humanitarian assistance to those fleeing the country.

 

 

Condemning the ongoing aggression of Russia on Ukraine, Adam Burakowski said, "the war has not only become a significant threat to the independence of Ukraine but has resulted in instability in other regions. 6 months ago, Russia invaded Ukraine & committed several crimes. Russia is continuing this war which is a major threat not only to the independence of Ukraine but also to global order and also to the instability in other regions."

 

The Polish envoy also stressed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has contributed to global inflation and is destroying the crops in Ukraine, trying to block exports from Ukraine, however, Poland continue to ship Ukrainian export from Polish territory.

 

 

Talking about the Indian students falling victim to the Russian invasion, the envoy said that Poland helped evacuate around 6,000 Indian students as he called "Operation Ganga" a successful one and claimed that around 22,000 Indian students were also victims of Russian aggression.

 

"Around 22,000 Indian students were also a victim of Russian aggression. Russia is making their lives difficult. They were evacuated from neighbouring countries of Ukraine. Poland helped to evacuate around 6,000 Indian students. Operation Ganga was a successful one"

 

However, the stranded students are now looking for a place in University as Polish and Indian partners are looking into the matter, the envoy said. The envoy ensured, "Since the number of Indian students in Poland is around 4,000 and they are increasing, the country is open to applications by the students for Poland colleges."
