In this exclusive interaction with NDTV’s Senior Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul, Sikorski responds to India’s concerns by drawing a parallel with Europe’s own experience of being “selectively targeted,” but quickly shifts focus to the Russia–Ukraine war, calling it a “colonial war” and urging India, as a leading voice of the Global South, to take a stronger moral position. However, the exchange takes an awkward turn when Sikorski is asked about India’s core concern: cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan — the very issue at the heart of Jaishankar’s warning to Poland. Visibly uncomfortable, the Polish Foreign Minister declines to answer and walks away, abruptly ending the interaction.
