In recent weeks, several top American Senators have expressed deep disappointment over India's position on the Ukrainian crisis.
A top American Senator, considered as one of the staunch supporters of India, has expressed his disappointment over India and Israel "sitting on the sidelines" of the current Ukrainian crisis and are not weighing in.
"This is not some relativistic issue. This is a choice between good and evil. And all democracies need to step up. Let's increase the sanctions. Let's get them more weapons. Let's make sure we do all we can to turn off any ability to evade the sanctions," Senator Mark Warner told Fox News in an interview.
Warner is Chairman of the powerful Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and is also a co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, which is the only country specific caucus in the US Senate.
"I say this as a friend of two nations for a time and long-term supporter of Israel. I am the chair, co-chair of the India Caucus. I am disappointed that countries like Israel and India, both great democracies, are sitting on the sidelines and not weighing in," he said.
