Russia has not said anything different. the Russian ambassador has clearly said that Articel 370 is an internal matter of India and that Kashmir is a purely bilateral issue. Russia has repeatedly rejected UN mediation into Kashmir. Also remember it was Russia that blocked China's request to hold a formal meeting on Kashmir.So Lavrov just reiterated without any change the 50 year old Russian stance that all issues between Indian & Pakistan are meant to be resolved by bilateral talks based on bilateral deals like 1971 Simla agreement & 1999 Lahore declaration.
He made ZERO mention of UN resolutions.
How is this bad for India????
India always said bilateral agreements like 1971 Simla agreement are the only means to resolve disputes.
Russia did not also offer mediation.
Also, Pakistanis have failed to explain why Russia is still bringing up Shimla, when Pakistan's position has been that India's actions violated Shimla. The fact is, Russia has supported India on Article 370 since day one. The fact Pakistanis are trying to spin Russia calling for bilateral talks(which almost every country has done) as support for Pakistan's position shows their desperation.
