Most were from countries that are a part of the U.S. and EU-led sanctions <strong>regime <\/strong>against Russia. Their messages were three-<strong>pronged (An approach having two or three parts)<\/strong>: asking India to change its vote at the UN, where it has <strong>abstained (Refrain from voting) <\/strong>from all resolutions critical of Russia\u2019s invasion; to request that India not \u201caccelerate\u201d its purchases of Russian oil being offered at discount; and to discourage India from using the rupee-rouble national currency-based payment mechanisms that could <strong>subvert (hinder normal operations) <\/strong>\u201cbackfilling sanctions\u201d. The messages got sharper and more public as it became clear that New Delhi would also host Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and officials from the West hoped to turn India\u2019s position to their side. However, the <strong>red carpet (Special treatment or hospitality)<\/strong> welcome he received, including a <strong>cordial (Politely warm and friendly) <\/strong>meeting with the Prime Minister, appeared to make it clear that New Delhi is not <strong>amenable (Responsive to suggestions and influences) <\/strong>to the pressure. The External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, and the Finance Minister also reinforced the position of the Indian \u201cnational interest\u201d, given that European countries have yet to <strong>curtail (Place restrictions on) <\/strong>oil intakes from Russia. It is likely that the U.S. will make another attempt to <strong>veer the Government off (veer off means to begin to go in the wrong direction)<\/strong> its chosen course when Mr. Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visit Washington for the \u201c2+2\u201d meetings, where a possible waiver of CAATSA sanctions against India for the purchase of the Russian S-400 systems will also be discussed. The U.S. is also keen to squeeze Russia on the multilateral stage, with proposals to exclude it from the G-20 summit this year, and suspend it from the Human Rights Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Government cannot be faulted for its refusal to bow to external pressure, it must consider the importance of remaining flexible on what its stand both at the UN and in bilateral conversations is going to be, given the ground situation in Ukraine. Reports of gross human rights violations blamed on the Russian army could change the complexion of the war, and India\u2019s call for an independent inquiry into the allegations is an important intervention. In addition, the U.S. and the EU are likely to tighten economic sanctions, as the current restrictions have not made Russia reconsider its course. With Russia unlikely to relinquish areas of Eastern Ukraine, and its western rivals not likely to let up their counter-measures, New Delhi must realise that its value to the two sides will last while it remains uncommitted to either side. This will require having a keen eye on rapid developments in the theatre of war, an ear on what partners on both sides plan next, and the ability to keep its mind open on where India\u2019s responsibilities, as a global democracy, and a truly non-aligned power, lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/rbi-grade-b\/?refcode=3938&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Apr+6%2C+2022%3B+Day+263_060422_RBIGBM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RBIGBM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/RBI-Grade-B-Free-Mock-Test-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"RBI Grade B Free Mock Test\" class=\"wp-image-17351\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go through these difficult words\/phrases, improve your word-power and score much better marks in the English language section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,1480,1732,9,2,19,31,18,1773,16,23,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-17448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ecgc-po","category-esic-mts","category-esic-sso","category-esic-udc","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sebi-grade-a","category-sidbi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Apr 6, 2022;
