Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that the death of innocent children in war, conflict or a terrorist attack “is very painful”, a day after Ukraine said Kyiv’s main children’s hospital was hit by a deadly Russian missile strike.
Modi also told Putin that a solution to the war in Ukraine “cannot be found on the battlefield … we have to find peace through talks”.
Russia has denied attacking the children’s hospital in Ukraine’s capital.
