'Special friendship?': Russian missile hit warehouse of Indian firm, claims Ukraine

Send Push
NEW DELHI: A Russian missile struck the warehouse of an Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine on Saturday amid the ongoing conflict, the Ukrainian embassy in India informed.

It criticised the Vladimir Putin-led Russian government calling it a "deliberate" attack while the country claims a “special friendship” with India.

"Today, a Russian missile struck the warehouse of Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine," it said.

"While claiming “special friendship” with India, Moscow deliberately targets Indian businesses — destroying medicines meant for children and the elderly," it added.


This comes as the Indian government has made its anti-war stance clear in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict with Prime Minister Narendra Modi categorically saying that the country was on the side of peace.

"I have a close relationship with Russia and Ukraine alike. I can sit with President Putin and say that this is not the time for war, and I can also tell President Zelenskyy in a friendly way that brother, regardless of how many people stand with you in the world, there will never be a resolution on the battlefield," PM Modi had said.
