Visiting Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova on Monday called on India to be pragmatic by diversifying its political interactions and energy and military resources.
Dzhaparova, a rare political visitor from Ukraine, arrived on Sunday and was speaking to the media after a meeting with MEA’s Secretary (West) Sanjay Verma. “We only think that it’s crucial to diversify resources, not only energy but military resources too because what we see in my country is that when you are dependent on Russia, they will blackmail,” she said.
