Russia-Ukraine war: Russia and Ukraine unleash information war

<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi kept up with his tradition of hugging the host as he stepped into war-torn Ukraine on Friday (Aug 23).

<p>The Modi-Putin embrace drew sharp criticism from Western leaders as well as Zelensky.</p>
