\u201cToday, a Russian missile struck the warehouse of Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine,\u201d the Ukrainian Embassy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile claiming \u2018special friendship\u2019 with India, Moscow deliberately targets Indian businesses — destroying medicines meant for children and the elderly,\u201d it said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

No further details on the strike were immediately available.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the U.K.\u2019s ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris said Russian strikes destroyed a major pharmaceuticals warehouse in Kyiv.<\/p>\n

He said the attack was carried out by Russian drones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning Russian drones completely destroyed a major pharmaceuticals warehouse in Kyiv, incinerating stocks of medicines needed by the elderly and children. Russia\u2019s campaign of terror against Ukrainian civilians continues,\u201d Mr. Harris said on X.<\/p>\n

On its website, Kusum Healthcare said it had a presence in 29 countries, including Ukraine, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan Kenya, Ivory Coast, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Niger, Cameroon, Mali and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

In the last few days, Russia pounded several targets in Ukraine even as the U.S. has been pushing for a ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow.<\/p>\n

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg on Friday to discuss the ceasefire in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Saturday marks exactly a month since Russia refused to accept a full interim ceasefire proposed by the U.S.<\/p>\n

As Russia maintained its offensive against Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha alleged that Russia was the \u201conly obstacle to peace\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sybiha, referring to US-brokered talks for peace in Jeddah, said Ukraine agreed to the proposal on ceasefire.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia refused to agree, instead putting forward conditions and demands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

From March 11 to April 11, Russia fired at Ukraine almost 70 missiles of various types, over 2,200 Shahed drones, and more than 6,000 guided aerial bombs, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese were Russian responses to peace proposals,\u201d Mr. Sybiha said.<\/p>\n
