Indian Perspective on Ukraine's Reconstruction

As India steps up its role in global development, its involvement in Ukraine's reconstruction presents a unique opportunity and challenge. With a history of significant investment in Afghanistan's rebuilding efforts, India has demonstrated its capacity to undertake major international projects when aligned with clear political and strategic goals. However, the ongoing war in Ukraine, coupled with India's deep-rooted ties with Russia, complicates its potential engagement.

This paper delves into India's current and future role in Ukraine's reconstruction, exploring the delicate balance New Delhi must maintain between its strategic interests and humanitarian commitments. While India's contributions have so far been limited to humanitarian aid, there is potential for expanded involvement in agriculture, health, housing, and infrastructure—if conditions allow.
