Since Russia launched the special military campaign in Ukraine from February 24, 2022 until now, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not only created a tectonic shift in European history, but also affected deeply affecting the world order, disturbing the global order formed after the Cold War. The determination of Russia, the rise of China, the tough policy of the US and Western countries when using absolute economic, financial and cultural advantages to exert total non-military pressure. The force that forced Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine caused many new developments in the balance of power and the gathering of forces in the world situation.
In that context, India, as a rising major country, has taken its own steps and strategies to demonstrate its role, voice and responsibility in global issues. While the US and the West vehemently condemn Russia, India maintains a policy of active neutrality, and focuses on ensuring the safety of Indian citizens in Ukraine. India declared its "strong opposition to the conflict", stood on the "peaceful side" and called for the Ukraine conflict to be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue, and at the same time, expressed its desire for all parties involved to about there being no other option than diplomacy and dialogue, the global order (must) be based on international law, the United Nations Charter and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations family. India's neutral attitude has caused many different reactions, and raised big questions about India's position, role, and influence in the world order.

India is making an important contribution to world order and is present as a "balancing force" ensuring the stability and safety of the entire region. India is not only an important partner of countries around the world but also an indispensable growth pole of the global economy. During the Russia-Ukraine conflict, India is one of the countries that can dialogue with all other major countries such as the US, Russia, the European Union, Japan or China. At the same time, when efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict have not yet achieved the expected results, the world is expecting India, as G20 Chairman, to save the day by supporting the organization of dialogues. high-level meetings between Russia, Ukraine, the US and Europe through official and unofficial dialogue channels.
