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.
You may be right, but I am not aware of the west taking sides between India and Pakistan, but I know there were borders decided by UK, that were not agreeable to both sides. Which AFAIK is the reason for the conflict between India and Pakistan.
UK was probably involved, because it was them that fucked up IDK? But there’s a huge difference between UK the colonial power 60 years ago, and Europe after EU, which has a mission for peace as a fundamental value and reason to be formed. As an example this was also the reason many EU countries did not join USA in the attack on Iraq.
Russia on the other hand, is now showing they may be even worse than the USSR. So zero progress under Communism, and 30 years of zero progress for Russia after Communism, while Europe has developed strong democratic values, that also aim to respect the rights and sovereignty of other countries outside the EU.
Again this has to be compared to Russia not only waging war, but threatening to use nukes, and risking all of humanity, if they don’t get their evil ways, this is IMO worse than when India was a colony of UK. Although I acknowledge there were atrocities against India that should never have happened, and were definitely very serious war crimes against Indias civil population.
