NEW DELHI - Amid tensions with China and Russia, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that the Ukraine war could embolden “aggressors” in other parts of the world.
Mr Blinken was speaking during a panel discussion at the Raisina Dialogue, an annual multilateral forum, with his Quad counterparts immediately after their breakfast meeting. Differences arose over wording to describe the war, with Russia and China refusing to fully endorse even the outcome document, which states: “Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine.”
The 10-minute meeting was the first time Mr Blinken had met Mr Lavrov since the war broke out in February 2022. India is in a unique position as it has refused to take sides in the war and has abstained from voting against Russia in the United Nations Security Council, much to the West’s initial frustration.
