The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

Well you said that the problem lays with India's trade relations with Russia, and this is a thread about Indian students facing discrimination in Ukraine.

He did only conclude that they should be held accountable for their government's decisions, because that's the least insane justification for that bullshit.
