In a meeting with the Russian president, the Indian Prime Minister has expressed his sadness over the deaths of children after yesterday's missile attacks in Ukraine.
The death of innocent children is painful and terrifying, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told Russian President Vladimir Putin a day after a lethal strike on a children's hospital in Kyiv. The pointed remark by the visiting Indian leader was an implicit rebuke to Putin, who moments earlier on Tuesday had welcomed him to the Kremlin with a warm statement on the importance of the strategic ties between the two countries.
Russia said, without providing evidence, that it was a Ukrainian anti-missile system that struck the hospital. United Nations Security Council members have confronted Russia over the missile strike that destroyed part of Ukraine's largest children's hospital, pouring out condemnations at an emergency meeting chaired by the Russian ambassador.
