PM Modi in Russia: U.S. says it has raised concerns with India of ties with Russia
The HinduThe United States has raised concerns with India about its relationship with Russia amid Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told reporters on Monday in response to questions about a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Modi met Mr. Putin in Russia on Monday in the Prime Minister's first visit since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. "I will look to Prime Minister Modi's public remarks to see what he talked about but as I said, we have made quite clear directly with India our concerns about their relationship with Russia," a State Department spokesperson said in a press briefing. "And so we would hope India and any other country when they engage with Russia would make clear that Russia should respect the U.N. Charter, should respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
