In many cases, allegedly the most advanced weapons were destroyed by primitive Ukrainian weapons, Igor Polikha, Ukrainian envoy to India, said at a photo and art exhibition put up at his country’s embassy showcasing the civilian deaths and destruction in the ongoing war and continued Russian bombing. As Russia renewed attacks on capital Kyiv, the envoy said they do not yet have a definitive count of the civilian deaths in the region.
“Now we are now waiting for more advanced weaponry. There are lot of promises and discussions are on. That will help us repel these attacks,” Mr. Polikha said on Monday evening addressing several heads of missions, diplomats and others present at the exhibition.
A series of paintings done by schoolchildren in Ukraine before the beginning of the war were put up along with pictures showcasing the widespread destruction of cities and loss of civilian lives in a four-day exhibition titled ‘darkness vs light – children dream about peace’. This will now move to the British and American schools and also various embassies in Delhi, the envoy stated.
