i honestly don't know how some countries can just be neutral and not give a shit.

if the war spills over to other countries they will soon start caring.

best thing to do is continue to supplying ukraine till russia decides to escalate beyond ukraine.

then it's go time.

Because countries(especially ones which struggle with poverty, constant terrorist attacks, constant fighting with multiple hostile nations bordering it, and a billion+ mouths to feed) can't change their entire foreign policy in a single day just to virtue signal to look good to the west. Especially when the west has historically always turned a blind eye to India's troubles in the past, or worse, actively supported India's enemies. Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh also abstained btw, and tbh it's kind of understandable given that they also have their own issues to deal with.

Also, it is untrue that India don't give a shit about Ukraine. They've been sending aid.

Dumb take. The world was neutral during kargil war. USA even helped Pakistan by blocking access to GPS in India. Why should India care about Ukraine. They were active Pakistan supporter. Before you try to talk morality look at the number of people died due to war and terrorist attacks in India by Pakistani aggression. India owes nothing to Ukraine.

Some countries aren’t able to just make a switch like that. For example, India’s military is made up mostly of Russian equipment and technology. The US (and India itself) is trying pretty hard to change that, and quickly, but it takes time. You can’t expect a country with two large, hostile, nuclear neighbours to give up its source of defence equipment.

Countries can be neutral in foreign wars because not every country is Denmark or Switzerland. Most countries in the world face every day poverty, hunger, terrorist attacks, crime, homicides, natural disasters and many other problems, and they can't just suddenly stop taking care of this and focus on wars from another countries.

By india renouncing russia and the benefits that russia brings to the country, the war WILL spill over to india.

I think India does care about people dying and all that, but why would they get involved and then have another billion+ people affected? Indians affected.

Modi is right to keep neutral.

Why would it spill over? There are many countries who renounce russia and the war did not spill over to them. Neither are people dying in these countries because of that.

Sure india has many benefits from russia and it is kinda obvious that the indians only want what is best for them. But efforts are made to help india and strengthen relationships so they can condemn this genocide and atrocities. They do not need to send weapons. The first step would be to tell russia and the world that what russia is doing should stop and retreat. Actualy not that big of a deal for them. Russia needs india to buy their stuff.

Actualy many countries did that and did not have any disadvantages despite condeming them. Russia is still trading with them.

The problem is that by explicitly increasing their purchases of russian weapons and oil etc they are not neutral, they are actively increasing the amount of money they send to Russia.
