Very much welcomed by US: NSA Sullivan on Modi’s message to Putin on Ukraine war

Jake Sullivan, the United States National Security Advisor (NSA) said on Tuesday.

That Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine war was very much welcomed by the US.

Addressing a press conference at the White House, Sullivan said what Modi said was “a statement of principle on behalf of what he believes is right and just (and) it was very much welcomed by the US,” news agency PTI reported.

The remark of the Indian leadership, which has longstanding relationships with Moscow, telling Russia that now is the time for the war to end is commendable, Sullivan said.

He added the way the war in Ukraine should end is for Russia to abide by the basic terms of the United Nations charter and to return territories that it seized by force.
