State Department spokesperson Ned Price said, ‘We share important interests and values with India. India has a relationship with Russia that we certainly don’t have. India and Russia have a relationship, including in the defence and security sector, that we don’t have. We have asked every country that has a relationship and certainly those countries that have the leverage to use that leverage in a constructive way’.
