The US Would Welcome India’s Role in Russia-Ukraine Conflict: White House

Social Share

New Delhi: On the issue between Russia and Ukraine, the US government on Tuesday said that the United States would welcome India’s role in de-escalating the mounting tensions between The Russo-Ukrainian conflicts.

White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said, “We certainly welcome any efforts to de-escalate and we are in touch with a range of allies and partners on this, but I don’t have any specific conversations to read out that relate to Indian officials.”

Tensions over Ukraine have increased in recent months, with Russia and NATO accusing each other of amassing troops on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

This comes as Ukraine received a new package of military assistance from the United States that includes modern equipment and ammunition.

However, the Indian embassy in Kyiv has asked its citizens residing in Ukraine to register themselves in a bid to disseminate information in a swift manner.

The embassy said it is closely monitoring the situation and asked Indian citizens to continuously follow its website for updates.

Russia over the tension with Ukraine said that the Moscow government doesn’t want expansion of the NATO in Europe – which poses threat to Russia.
