Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Ukraine, becoming the first Indian leader to do so. During his visit, he shared an emotional hug with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while visiting a memorial for children killed in the ongoing conflict. This gesture comes six weeks after Modi's controversial hug with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which drew criticism from Ukraine and the West. Zelenskyy had criticized Modi for embracing Putin, calling him "the world's most bloody criminal." Modi's visit highlights India's delicate balancing act between maintaining relations with Russia and expressing support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing war.
