Ukrainian officials on Saturday said that a Russian missile struck Indian pharmaceutical firm Kusum’s warehouse in the country as the war between Russia and Ukraine continued.

An image of the condition of the factory following the attack was first shared by the British ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris.

The Ukrainian embassy in India reposted the message with the following caption: “Today, a Russian missile struck the warehouse of Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine. While claiming “special friendship" with India, Moscow deliberately targets Indian businesses — destroying medicines meant for children and the elderly".

News18 could not independently verify the images shared by the envoy and then reposted on social media site X by the Ukrainian authorities.

Harris in his tweet said that the pharmaceutical firm’s warehouse was located in Ukrainian capital Kyiv.

Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff wrapped up his latest talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Friday, after President Donald Trump urged his Russian counterpart to move quicker to end what he said was the country’s “senseless war" with Ukraine.

Trump has been pressing Moscow and Kyiv to agree a ceasefire deal but has failed to extract any major concessions from the Kremlin, despite repeated negotiations between Russian and US officials.

The US leader told NBC News last month he was “pissed off" with his Russian counterpart, while top US diplomat Marco Rubio warned last week that Washington would not tolerate “endless negotiations" with Russia over the conflict.

“Russia has to get moving," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding that the conflict, which began in February 2022 when Moscow sent troops into Ukraine, was “senseless" and “should have never happened".
