Meanwhile, the world looks on as Russia annexes Crimea. The Obama administration has intensified its global effort to garner support for Ukraine. The White House said it is looking at the international community, including India, to condemn Russia's action.

Over the past few weeks, the top American leadership, including President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry, has been reaching out to its friends, allies and key global players against the Russian action in the Crimean region of Ukraine.

Even as Russian President Vladimir Putin called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to explain his position on Ukraine, US officials would not tell the level of its outreach with India; with whom the Obama Administration is building strategic partnership.
