'India has a unique role to play'- US on solution to Ukraine-Russia war

India TV News  

Ukraine-Russia war: US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price on Friday pressed India's role to play in ending the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine at a press conference in Washington. “We all have our positions and our perspectives on how these tensions should be resolved,” he said, adding that: “We should not allow issues that we cannot resolve together to come in the way of those we can.” While several countries advocated New Delhi to force Moscow to initiate peace talks with its neighbouring nation, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken lambasted his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, for overlooking the concerns raised by the G20 countries. No joint communique on Ukraine conflict due to sharp rift between West, Russia With the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi unable to come out with a joint communique due to the sharp rift between the West and Russia over the Ukraine conflict, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said this is not a reflection on India’s efforts as host but of the “divisions" seen among countries in the international fora. Who said what at G20 Summit 2023 United States: Antony Blinken The meeting, at one point, seems tense as Blinken raised the issue of energy and food security due to the ongoing "Russia's aggression" against Ukraine. India: S Jaishankar In his remarks at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, without mentioning the Ukraine conflict, said the grouping must find common ground and provide direction to the world though there are some “matters of sharp differences”.
