White House on India's role in ending Russia-Ukraine war

Washington, DC [US]: The United States has expressed its willingness to accept any nation's "help" in efforts to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine During the press briefing on Thursday.

When asked if India can play a role in bringing peace and ending the Russia-Ukraine war, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby replied, "Any nation that can help to end this war and do so in keeping President Zelenskyy's prerogative, the Ukrainian people's prerogative, his plans to adjust peace--we would certainly welcome a role like that."

During the briefing, Kirby also spoke on Russia's "attempt to interfere" in the 2024 presidential election and said, "The Department of Justice, the Department of Treasury, and the State Department took a series of coordinated actions against foreign actors associated with the Russian government who are attempting to covertly influence our elections."

US have found that RT (Russia Today) is being used by the Russian government to spread propaganda, influence elections, and shape policies in the US and other countries.

"Specifically, all these federal agencies revealed activities directed and funded by RT, formally known as Russia Today, to covertly spread Russian government propaganda, to reduce international support for Ukraine, bolster pro-Russian policies and interests, and influence voters here in the US, and in foreign elections as well. RT is no longer just a propaganda arm of the Kremlin. It is being used to advance covert Russian influence actions," said Kirby.
