On the day of their meeting, July 8, Russian forces launched a massive strike on Ukraine, including Kyiv’s children’s hospital “Ohmatdet.” In his discussion with Putin, Modi, striving to maintain favorable ties with both the West and Russia, called for an end to the conflict in Ukraine through dialogue. He voiced tremendous regret and dismay at the murder of children in the Kyiv hospital, noting, “When innocent children are killed, when you see them die, the heart aches and this pain is unbearable,” stressing the catastrophic consequences.
