Ukraine-Russia War: Zelenskyy expresses disappointment over Modi's Moscow visit.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed displeasure over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Russia, which he described as a “devastating blow to peace efforts.”
Pictures from Monday’s meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Modi, who is currently on a two-day visit to Russia, showed the two leaders conversing and embracing each other.
Zelenskyy took to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) and mentioned that on the same day, 37 people, including three children, were killed and 170 others were injured as a result of Russia’s missile strike at a major children’s hospital in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv.
“In Ukraine today, 37 people were killed, three of whom were children, and 170 were injured, including 13 children, due to Russia’s brutal missile strike. A Russian missile hit the largest children’s hospital in Ukraine, targeting young cancer patients. Many were trapped under the rubble. It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world’s largest democracy embrace the world’s most notorious criminal in Moscow on such a day,” he said.
Congress’s Reaction
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also criticized PM Modi for meeting Putin amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
“Self-styled Vishwaguru, who also gave himself the title of Vishwabandhu, is in Moscow the day a children’s hospital in Ukraine is bombed. What happened to the ‘Ukraine mein war rukwa di’ boast?” Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.
