Russian Embassy denies air strikes at Kiev Indian pharmaceutical warehouses, accusing Ukrainian attacks | World News
Moscow: Russia’s embassy in India rejected Ukraine’s attack on Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum, saying the news was fake. Instead, it accused the war-hardened country (Ukraine) of attacking the warehouse and said: “One of the Ukrainian air defense missiles landed in the warehouse of Kusum Healthcare and caught fire.”
“In response to the accusations spread by the Embassy of Ukraine in India, the Russian Embassy in New Delhi information that the Russian Armed Forces did not attack or plan to attack on April 12, 2025, Kusum Healthcare’s pharmaceutical warehouse in the eastern part of Kiev. On that day, Russian tactical aviation, strike unmanned aerial vehicles and missile forces hit an aviation plant of the Ukrainian military industrial complex, the embassy said: “The infrastructure of military airports, armored vehicle repair and drone assembly workshops is in completely different locations. ”
“The most likely explanation is that one of the Ukrainian air defense missiles landed in a warehouse in Kusum Healthcare, catching it on fire. Similar cases have occurred before, so the Ukrainian air defense interceptor failed to reach its target because there is nothing to do with the electronic warfare system operating.”
Last week, the Ukrainian embassy criticized the Russian government led by Vladimir Putin, claiming it was a “deliberate” attack, while the country claimed to have a “special friendship” with India. “Today, Russian missiles hit the warehouse of Kusum, an Ukrainian Indian pharmaceutical company. Moscow deliberately targeted Indian businesses when it established a “special friendship” with India – undermining drugs targeting children and the elderly,” it said.
Meanwhile, Russian troops launched an attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Hosen on Wednesday, killing one person and injuring nine people, continuing with the daily attacks of the war-hardened country. Foreign ministers in Russia and Ukraine made new charges last week for violating a fragile U.S. broker deal, aiming to suspend attacks on energy infrastructure – underscoring the ongoing challenges of ending the three-year war.
Although the two sides temporarily agreed to a 30-day ceasefire last month during talks between U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia officials, they were quickly confused. Differences arose during the start date of the ceasefire, and both sides quickly accused the other of violating the agreement and doubted the feasibility of the truce.
