This is the operandi of Russia from Chechnya, Georgia to Syria.

There's probably a military playbook on when aid is seen to be delivered to rain mortars for the sake of terrorism and nothing else.

Modi tells Putin that the 'heart bleeds' when children are killed

An update from Reuters on Narendra Modi’s visit to Moscow:

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday that the death of innocent children was painful and terrifying, a day after a lethal strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv.

The pointed remark by the visiting Indian leader was an implicit rebuke to Putin, who moments earlier had welcomed him to the Kremlin with a warm statement on the importance of the strategic ties between the two countries.

Ukraine says it has recovered fragments of a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile at the children’s hospital, which was hit on Monday during a wave of Russian attacks that killed at least 41 Ukrainians across the country.

Russia said, without providing evidence, that it was a Ukrainian anti-missile system that struck the hospital.

“Whether it is war, conflict or a terrorist attack, any person who believes in humanity, is pained when there is loss of lives,” Modi said.

“But even in that, when innocent children are killed, the heart bleeds and that pain is very terrifying.”

It was not the first time that Modi has appeared to criticise Russia over its actions in Ukraine. In September 2022, he told Putin that “today’s era is not an era of war”, and Putin said at that time he understood Modi’s concerns.

India, however, has not condemned Russia’s invasion and has taken the opportunity to buy record amounts of discounted Russian oil as sanctions have decimated Moscow’s trade with the west.

Modi should condem russia once he's safely home and cut ties with them altogether

Your funny

Don't feed the trolls. It takes quite a sick type of troll to accuse the Ukrainians of attacking their own children's hospital when putin has a record of his military attacking hospitals and the evidence for the contrary troll's argument is a vague claim they've seen some blogs on the internet. Here is a politician pictured at the UN holding some real evidence of russian missile debris being excavated from the hospital site where putin murdered more children and innocent civilians:

Link these reports online because they're wrong. There's irrefutable evidence a number of russian missiles hit the city centre.

Scolded in public, Putin didn't like that I bet.

Modern air defence missiles have a self destruct mechanism for when it loses a target. Also, you can see from the trajectory of the impact, it didn't look like it was out of control when falling to the ground. Finally, there's pictures of the missile debris, you can clearly see parts that look nothing like an air defence interceptor. It's almost certainly a Russian missile.

The only question is whether it was deliberately targeted at the hospital or not. This doesn't appear likely. The real target appears to be the offices of Zavod Artem, an arms company office 2km away that got hit with multiple missiles at the same time. It's still the fault of the Russians, it was still their missile, regardless of whether it malfunctioned.

Would you also criticize rape victims for fighting back the wrong way in a struggle and hurting themselves in the process?

Not that I think a single line of your disgusting, disingenuous Kremlin scutter is plausible.

Not a word from you about the terrorist country actually firing the initial missile at a pediatric cancer ward?

You, are beyond the pale.

Fairly obvious the rabbit hole of obliviation that the Russian state is descending into.

Men shall earn more than women. Women will not back chat to men. Women will only get equal rights if they provide two children to the regime.

What a little squirming weasel Putin is.

Also a coward who acts the big man but when Prigozin was coming for him he fled like a coward in his private airplane.

Now compare that to Zelensky when the Russians were knocking on the doors of Kyiv….

Good point!

Military deaths. Doesn't include civilians as I don't think its a relevant comparator in the context of this war which is being fought entirely on Ukrainian soil.

I'm inclined to trust Bellingcat a hell of a lot more than your vague claims... Any reason why you haven't linked to said blogs btw?
