Death of children very painful: Modi

Moscow: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the deaths of innocent children in war, conflict, or terrorist attacks are ‘very painful’. This statement came a day after Ukraine reported a deadly Russian missile strike on Kyiv's main children's hospital.

Sitting alongside Putin during their formal talks in Kremlin, Modi said, "If innocent children are murdered; if innocent children die, it is heart-wrenching."
