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.

    Is Zelensky not a huge disappointment for supporting Israel?

    Doesn’t mean he’s wrong but kettles and all that.

      We kinda need to align with US stance since we do still need those delicious delicious weapons to defends ourselves with. I don’t agree with it, but I also kinda want to survive the war

        If you want to side with genocide to protect yourself, you lose all right to complain about Russias plans for genocide.

            No, nor did I miss the part where you tried to justify it; As if you can excuse genocide elsewhere because you think your life is more important.

        Meanwhile Russia uses Israeli drones to target you with their Artillery. They were even sold after Crimea was already invaded and Israel conveniently did not sanction Russia even when the main invasion happened in 2022.

        Zelensky is sucking up to people who are fine with and even helping in you getting murdered. You are also victims of Zionism

      Hamas is a fascist group that’s supplied with weapons by Iran that routinely fires rockets at civilians.

      Russia is a fascist country that’s supplied with weapons by Iran that routinely fires rockets at civilians.

      There are groups in the West that think Ukraine shouldn’t be supplied with weapons. There are groups in the west that think Israel shouldn’t be supplied with weapons.

      Both Ukraine and Israel is the target of a lot of propaganda. Main difference is Ukraine has won the propaganda war, while Israel has lost the propaganda war.

        Holy fuck, Ukraine and Palestine are victims of terror and genocide. Not Ukraine and Israel.

        Israel and Russia are the fascist countries. Israel has done everything in its power to spread propaganda to the contrary but anyone with eyes can literally see what they are doing.
