India, Russia Express Concern Over US-led War on Iraq

Moscow,(PTI), March 24: Russia and India have expressed their deep concern at the US-led military action against Iraq and devastating bombardment of the country.

In their telephonic conversation Sunday Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha "agreed that continuation of massive bombardment of Iraq would inevitably cause a humanitarian and ecological disaster in the whole region, which cannot be allowed by the international community," a Russian Foreign Office statement said.

Expressing deep concern at the war on Iraq, which the US and Great Britain unleashed bypassing the UN Security Council, Ivanov and Sinha called for the return of the Iraqi settlement to the UN Security Council and expressed Moscow and New Delhi's firm will to achieve this, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Both Moscow and New Delhi, which till the last moment had been calling for the peaceful politico-diplomatic solution of the Iraq crisis on the basis of UNSC resolution 1441, however, adopted a cautious stance in the wake of US-led invasion to de-throne Saddam and are avoiding a direct attack on Washington hoping to retain their bilateral relationship with the world's sole super power.
