Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Russia’s claims that an air defense failure led to a deadly attack on a children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday, causing widespread destruction, ahead of a NATO summit.
“What cynicism those bastards in the Kremlin showed, that it was supposedly about Ukrainian air defense and not about a targeted missile strike,” Zelensky said at a news conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw.
Zelensky thanked everyone who had posted videos online “which clearly show that it was not a part of some missile, but a direct missile strike that killed and injured many people.”
Zelensky said 27 people have been killed and more than 100 others injured in a wave of Russian attacks across the country.
