a hug that sent shock waves across the world perhaps nowhere more than in the mind of Ukraine's president who has publicly decried the Modi Putin hug as 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 zelinsky's attack on the Moscow hug comes 25 days after the Ukrainian president and Modi embraced on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy an additional aggravation that the Modi put in Milan takes place on the same day that a NATO Summit on the Ukraine war takes place in Washington with zalinski in attendance two hugs less than a month apart with two leaders on the opposite ends of the world's biggest current conflict while the West back zalinski in his criticism India has projected this as the true phase of constructive diplomacy while zelinsky's anger affirms the global view that India must use its leverage with Russia sources say Modi has conveyed to Putin that the solution to the Ukraine conflict cannot be on the battlefield many will say aggravation over this meet is only another validation of India's independent foreign policy unhindered by the polarities of a troubled world and focused on peace rather than taking sites [Music]
