The last thing the United States and other western powers want now is a row that divides them from India.
On the grand geopolitical chess board, India is a key player.
Not only is it a growing power - the most populous country in the world, the fifth-biggest economy. But it is also seen by the West as a potential bulwark against China.
This was apparent at the recent G20 meeting in India when Ukraine's Western allies agreed a final communique which did not condemn Russia by name for its invasion.
They chose to protect their relationship with India by avoiding a row over the statement, a choice which angered some in Kyiv.
