"Heart-Wrenching If Children Die": PM Modi To Putin On Ukraine War | Read
PM Narendra Modi's Russia visit reached what is arguably its most important portion on Tuesday with the Prime Minister holding a bilateral meeting with President Vladimir Putin, their first in two years. This is also the first such meeting since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Addressing the invasion head-on after recognising the close ties between the two countries and Russia's contribution in ensuring that ordinary Indians did not suffer, PM Modi told the Russian president: "If innocent children are murdered; if innocent children die, it is heart-wrenching". The comments came a day after a children's hospital in Kyiv was hit amid a wave of strikes by Russia.
