Ukraine can’t believe Indian leader met “bloody criminal” Russian ruler on day of children’s hospital bombing.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for embracing Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow on the day the Kremlin’s forces bombed a children’s hospital in Kyiv.

“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,” Zelenskyy wrote, referring to the deadly Russian attacks.

Modi arrived in Moscow on Monday for a two-day state visit, marking his first trip to Russia since it began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

In a video clip that went viral Monday evening, Modi climbed out of a car, walked up some steps to meet Putin, and gave the Russian president a warm hug.

      Yes unfortunately it seems the right is getting more extreme almost everywhere.

        As we enter late stage capitalism, with wages stagnating and cost of living going way out of control, people are looking for someone to blame.

        And for conservatives, if there is anyone to blame it’s always immigrants, gays, and liberals. In that order.

        Never the capital class.

        Moderate conservatives pretty much no longer exist.

        The “moderates” are more than happy to collaborate with actual fascists; it’s not like the leopards will eat their faces, after all

          Always has been, never forget it was the “moderate” conservatives under Hindenburg that let (indeed advocated for) Hitler become Chancellor.
