“In response to his aggression, we have presented a united front throughout NATO and the Pacific”, Biden said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Quad ʹ with the exception of India, which is somewhat wavering in some of them, but Japan has been extremely strong, as has Australia in dealing with Putin's aggression. ”
In recent weeks India, which depends on Russia for its weapons supply, has urged Russia to end violence but has not condemned Russia.
On Monday, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who met India's foreign secretary, told Indian NDTV television that the US understood that ties between India and Russia could not be cut off immediately.
She said: “We have made it clear in our conversation that we understand that this is not something that can be immediately interrupted, in the same way that we have been clear to our European allies, who are still very dependent on Russian energy, that we understand that, and they will have to evolve away from it. ”
But what we want to do is work together to find alternative resources over time. And that's what we hope to do with India, whether it's about security relations, relationships with energy, etc. ”
