Ukraine can’t believe Indian leader met “bloody criminal” Russian ruler on day of children’s hospital bombing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for embracing Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow on the day the Kremlin’s forces bombed a children’s hospital in Kyiv.
“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,” Zelenskyy wrote, referring to the deadly Russian attacks.
Modi arrived in Moscow on Monday for a two-day state visit, marking his first trip to Russia since it began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In a video clip that went viral Monday evening, Modi climbed out of a car, walked up some steps to meet Putin, and gave the Russian president a warm hug.
India is showing a terrible double standard, they are hesitant towards the west, because India was once a British colony.
That is understandable.
But to support and “embrace” Russia when they are doing the same even worse to Ukraine is a disgusting double standard.
Shame on you India, for not changing with the times. Russia is obviously the evil empire today, even threatening nuclear war that could destroy life on earth.
Cry all you can. Won’t change the fact Russia/USSR stood with US when whole world (including USA) supported Pakistan in 1971 war and have supported Pakistan against India multiple times, and now the USA just want to use us as a weapon against china. I absolutely hate what Putin is doing and modi, but we have to see our past and then decide our future relations, not to forget Russia has used veto power multiple times to support us.
I’m reminded of the comment by the Kenyan Ambassador to the UN, wrt their international relations: “Every time Britain sends a diplomat, we get a new lecture. Every time China sends a diplomat, we get a new hospital.”
Westerners really do suck at diplomacy. This isn’t an India-Russia problem nearly so much as it is NATO states thinking they’re owed fealty without any reciprocity.
A lot of irony going on. Like the Jewish state doing what was done to them throughout out history to others now.
More like fascists using propaganda to convince socialists that the Jews are the real bad guys.
Same shit different century.
German police invaded the venue of the Palestine Congress, organised by Jewish Voice for Peace together with DiEM25 and civil rights groups, and shut it down by cutting off electricity, confiscating microphones, and detaining some of the participants.
History repeating itself
