Quote from the Economic Times: “India on Monday raised with the Ukrainian Ambassador to India the remarks made by his President Volodymyr Zelenskyy against PM Narendra Modi during his Russia visit.
The MEA [Ministry of External Affairs] had summoned the Ukrainian envoy on Monday and raised the issue, ET has learnt. This clearly indicates New Delhi’s displeasure with the Ukrainian dispensation on the issue of Zelenskyy’s comments against the PM.”
Details: It also became known that India has postponed a meeting of the joint working group on culture with Ukraine.
Last week, Zelenskyy criticised Modi’s meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, calling it a “devastating blow to peace efforts”.
Zelenskyy said that it was sad to see the leader of the world’s largest democracy embracing the world’s most notorious criminal in Moscow.
Last week, Modi paid a two-day visit to Russia for the 22nd annual India Summit after a three-year hiatus. The last summit took place in December 2021, when Putin visited Delhi. Modi’s visit reportedly gave a “big boost to the economic partnership” with Russia.
Background:
- At a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged him to end the war in Ukraine. He told Putin that a solution cannot be found on the battlefield.
- Indian publications, citing sources, report that Russia decided to dismiss all Indians recruited by Russia for the war in Ukraine after a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
- The Russians launched a strike on the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialised Hospital in Kyiv on 8 July. One of the buildings was destroyed. The Kyiv authorities reported that two adults had been killed and 32 injured. Later, another child died in hospital.
- The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has defined Russia’s attack on the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialised Hospital in Kyiv as a war crime and initiated criminal proceedings into the matter. Early reports from SSU investigators indicate the Russians used a Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile to attack the medical facility.
