Appeal to India to ‘use’ old relations with Russia
MILWAUKEE: Apna Punjab Media: Referring to India’s longstanding ties with Russia, the US has said that it has urged New Delhi to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for waging an ‘illegal war’ against Ukraine over its ties with Moscow. End the ‘use’ of relationships. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in his regular press conference on Monday, “India has a very old relationship with Russia. I think everyone knows this We have encouraged India to use its unique friendship with Russia to build on these long-standing relations and to call on President Putin to end its illegal war, achieve a just and lasting peace in the conflict and respect the UN Charter, the territorial integrity of Ukraine and Urged to achieve sovereignty. Appeal to respect.
In response to a question, Miller said, “We will continue to put pressure on the Indian government for this.” India is an important partner of ours in terms of relations with Russia. Miller had made similar comments on July 9, soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi left Russia. Modi was in Russia for two days on July 8-9 for the 22nd India-Russia Annual Summit. Western countries were keeping a close eye on his visit amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. It has been more than two years since Russia waged war against Ukraine and this was Modi’s first visit to Russia after that. Prime Minister Modi had told Putin on July 9 that peace talks cannot succeed between bombs, guns and bullets and no conflict can be resolved on the battlefield.
