“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,” said Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy.Scores killed and hurt in Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities Mr Modi apparently referred to Moscow’s latest attacks on Tuesday, without specifically mentioning the strike on Ohmatdyt, Ukraine’s biggest children’s hospital, where many young patients have severe illnesses or injuries caused by Russian bombs.
