US Senator Urges India To Use Its 'Influence' To Help Trump End Ukraine War

US Senator Urges India To Use Its Influence To Help Trump End Ukraine War-1.webp


US Senator Lindsey Graham has urged India to use its “influence” to help President Donald Trump end the Ukraine war, hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Graham said that it will be “consequential” in improving relations between Washington and Delhi.

“As I have been telling my friends in India, one of the most consequential things they could do to improve India-US relations is to help President Trump end this bloodbath in Ukraine,” Graham posted on social media on Friday.

Graham said that India is the second-largest purchaser of cheap oil from Russia, which “fuels Putin’s war machine”.

“I hope Prime Minister Modi emphasised to Putin in their recent phone call the need to end this war in Ukraine justly, honourably and forever. I have always believed India influences this matter, and I am hoping they will use it wisely,” Graham added.

Graham was responding to PM Modi’s post on X following his phone call with President Putin.

Modi said he had a “very good and detailed conversation” with “my friend President Putin.” During their phone conversation on Friday, Putin briefed Modi on the latest developments concerning Ukraine.

“In light of the special privileged partnership between Russia and India, Vladimir Putin shared the key outcomes of his meeting with US President’s Special Envoy Steven Witkoff,” the Kremlin said in a statement.

Prime Minister Modi thanked President Putin for the information and confirmed India’s “unwavering stance in favour of settling the situation surrounding Ukraine via political and diplomatic means,” it added.

Modi has invited Putin to India later this year for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit.

Graham has supported Trump’s decision to impose additional tariffs on India for its purchases of Russian oil, saying, “Making those like India pay a price for their war profiteering is a good place to start.”
 
Tell Lindsay Graham to get fv@ked by his dogs. He was instrumental in convincing Trump to slap tariffs on India and he dares to sermonize India and tell India what to do. Like bloody hell - India will act in its own self interests. Time to tell Trump and his maga crazies to go where the sun doesn’t shine.
 
We use influence? Exactly for what? The Ukraine war was started by the West so now it's needs global south to end it ? Putin will invade Ukraine via Poland sooner or later as he has no way to step back so as much as all want to the war end , it won't . Zelensky needs to flee now .

Did Ukraine attack Russia? I think it was the other way around, right?
