Russia Ukraine News Highlights | Condemn Bucha killings, want impartial probe: PM Modi in virtual meet with Biden

Russia Ukraine News Highlights | At the virtual summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Joe Biden said the US and India are going to "continue our close consultation" on how to manage the "destabilising effects of the Russian war in Ukraine".

The summit between Modi and Biden comes at a time when both the nations have appeared to be not on the same page in relation to Russia. While New Delhi has reiterated that it will be guided by its "national interest", Washington had termed its approach as "shaky".

In other major update, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of trying to evade responsibility for war crimes.

“When people lack the courage to admit their mistakes, apologize, adapt to reality and learn, they turn into monsters. And when the world ignores it, the monsters decide that it is the world that has to adapt to them. Ukraine will stop all this,” Zelenskyy said.

“The day will come when they will have to admit everything. Accept the truth,” he said.

He again called on Western countries, including Germany, to provide more assistance to Ukraine. During talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Zelenskyy said he discussed “how to strengthen sanctions against Russia and how to force Russia to seek peace.”

“I am glad to note that the German position has recently changed in favor of Ukraine. I consider it absolutely logical,” Zelenskyy said.
