Russia Ukraine war diplomacy – Bharat Pulse News

A new account of internal White House discussions has claimed that US Vice President JD Vance once suggested Indian troops could be considered for a Ukraine peacekeeping mission, but President Donald Trump reportedly rejected the idea. JD Vance Suggested India Role In Ukraine The claim appears in Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, written by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The book says the discussion took place during an Oval Office meeting on January 30, 2025, when Trump’s team was reviewing possible options to help end the Russia-Ukraine war. According to the account, Vance argued that peacekeeping troops from non-European countries, including India and Saudi Arabia, could be explored as an alternative to NATO forces. The reported reasoning was that sending troops from countries such as France or Britain could anger Russia and make a ceasefire more difficult. Trump Rejected Indian Troops Proposal The book claims Trump laughed off the suggestion and said India would not agree to such a role. He reportedly said Prime Minister Narendra Modi liked him, but added that India would not send troops or pay for such a mission. The claim has not been officially confirmed by the White House, the Indian government or the leaders named in the account. India has also not announced any plan to send troops to Ukraine under any peacekeeping framework. India Ukraine Policy Remains Cautious India has maintained a careful diplomatic position on the Ukraine war, calling for dialogue and diplomacy while continuing engagement with both Russia and Ukraine. The reported discussion highlights how India’s growing global influence is being viewed in Washington. However, any Indian military deployment abroad would require a formal decision by New Delhi and cannot be decided through proposals made by another country.
