Zelensky says Russian attack on children’s hospital deliberate
The Ukrainian president has rejected Russia’s claims that there had been an air defence error causing a deadly strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv that caused extensive destruction on Monday.
“What cynicism the bastards in the Kremlin have shown—that it was allegedly Ukrainian air defence and not a targeted missile strike,” Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press briefing with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw.
Mr Zelensky thanked all those who have posted videos online “on which it can be seen concretely that it is not just a part of one or another missile, but a direct missile strike that killed and injured many people.”
Mr Zelensky said 27 people were killed and over 100 others injured across the country in a wave of Russian strikes.
