US Urges India To Use Russia Ties To End Ukraine War
WASHINGTON, DC (IANS) – The United States on July 15 urged India to use its longstanding relationship with Russia to urge President Vladimir Putin to “end his illegal war and to find a lasting peace” in its conflict with Ukraine.
Mathew Miller, the State Department spokesperson, was asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Moscow and his meeting with President Putin, which continues to generate interest in Washington.
“India has a longstanding relationship with Russia,” Miller said, adding, “We have, speaking for the United States, encouraged India to utilize that relationship with Russia, that long-standing relationship in the unique position that they have to urge President Putin to end his illegal war and to find a just peace, a lasting peace to this conflict.”
He added that India should “tell Vladimir Putin to respect the UN charter, to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. And that’s what we continue to impress upon the government of India which is an important partner of ours when it comes to its relationship with Russia.”

That is a big ASK!
Let’s see what happens if India helps end the war.
1) No oil profits
2) Ukraine starts to rebuild its factories and upgrades the deadly tanks pointed at India as promised in exchange of ammunition supplied
3) USA is free to spend the money for Ukraine in Pakistan
The list goes on and on. Just #2 is enough reason for India to let Russia eat up Ukraine whole.
Probably what USA needs to do is talk to India privately and stop making stupid public remarks. majority of India does not even read English.
