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.

Well Modi’s ruling a wannabe fascist genocidal party.

Hindu nationalists dream of expanding into neighbouring states because historical borders at some period or whatever.

Ruthless capitalists like Adani who fuck over countries around the world to extract their wealth.

Etc.

Do explain the Hindu' nationalists dream of expanding into neighbouring states because historical borders at some period or whatever' part. I am unaware

I'm not familiar with the politics of Modi's party, but if I had to guess based on "historic borders", that would probably be Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal.

OK, but any specifics? That's what I'm looking for, not what some people's intuition tells them is the 'hindu fascists' intention to occupy foreign territory

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

I don't know what you want me to explain. There are only a handful of countries on the Indian subcontinent that could, in any sense, be called India's "historical borders". It's literally the same as any other fascist colonizer belief.
