Ukraine’s Zelenskyy reacts to Indian PM Modi’s meeting with Putin
Kyiv: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reacted sharply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Russia and his interaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Mr Zelenskyy referred to Russia’s attack Monday – in which at least 37 people, including three children, were killed after a missile strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv. The strike also damaged nearly 100 buildings, including schools and maternity hospitals.
His tweet included photographs of the bombed hospital and babies in ambulances.
Mr Zelenskky’s post came after Prime Minister Modi met President Putin in Moscow and shared an embrace. Visuals from their meeting showed the two leaders taking tea on a terrace at Mr Putin’s home in Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow, and Mr Modi being driven around in a golf cart.
One photo in particular – of Mr Modi and Mr Putin hugging – has been widely shared online.
And the Ukraine President was particularly critical of that image, posting, “It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world’s largest democracy hug the world’s most bloody criminal in Moscow on such a day…”
In Ukraine today, 37 people were killed, three of whom were children, and 170 were injured, including 13 children, as a result of Russia’s brutal missile strike. KMS
