This reminds me of when Ukraine needed vaccines from India (roughly a decade ago)

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

Dumb question, but did Ukraine do something towards India after that? I haven't heard about this.

I'm gonna try, I assume I'm wrong and someone can hopefully correct me...

India has a friendlier or neutral stance towards Russia due to its history with the Soviet Union. Something about a ship nearby some decades ago during the cold war scaring off some antagonistic ships?

I think India is also part of the non-aligned movement? The recent thing was a UN vote where India abstained? Something about recognizing something about the conflict... I think after that there was a statement by Ukraine or the Ukrainian President saying something like uh, wow I can't believe you didn't like super support us.
