India has a longstanding relationship with Russia, which is well known. Speaking for the United States, we have encouraged India to use that relationship and their unique position to urge President Putin to end his illegal war and find a just, lasting peace to this conflict. We urge Vladimir Putin to respect the UN Charter and Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. We will continue to impress this upon the government of India, an important partner of ours, regarding their relationship with Russia,"
