Ukraine Accuses Russia of Targeting Indian Pharma Warehouse Amid Ongoing Conflict

Ukraine's Serious Allegations Against Russia

Kyiv: On Saturday, Ukraine accused Russia of intentionally attacking Indian enterprises after a missile struck a warehouse owned by Kusum Healthcare, an Indian pharmaceutical firm.

In a statement shared on X, the Ukrainian embassy in India remarked, "While professing a 'special friendship' with India, Moscow is deliberately targeting Indian businesses, destroying essential medicines intended for vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly."

Today, a Russian missile struck the warehouse of Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine.

The warehouse, managed by Kusum Healthcare, was reportedly a crucial storage site for medical supplies needed for humanitarian efforts. Although Kyiv has not disclosed information regarding casualties or the damage's extent, it condemned the attack as a breach of international law.

Russia has yet to respond to these accusations.

Previously, Britain's ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Harris, stated on X that the attack was executed by Russian drones rather than a missile.

"This morning, Russian drones completely destroyed a major pharmaceuticals warehouse in Kyiv, incinerating stocks of medicines needed by the elderly and children. Russia’s campaign of terror against Ukrainian civilians continues," Harris commented.

In a related development, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that Ukraine had conducted five assaults on Russian energy infrastructure within the last 24 hours, asserting that these actions violate a US-mediated agreement to cease such attacks.

Last month, both nations reportedly consented to a moratorium on targeting each other's energy facilities. However, tensions remain elevated, with both sides accusing one another of violating the agreement.

India, which has maintained a neutral position throughout the conflict, continues to advocate for peace and an end to hostilities, refraining from taking sides in the ongoing war.
