At least 24 people were killed on Monday after Russia launched a massive missile attack against cities across Ukraine, including on a children’s hospital.
In the capital, Kyiv, at least ten people were killed in a rare daytime attack.
The Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, Ukraine’s biggest children’s medical facility, was hit in the attack, according to reports. There was no immediate word on casualties there.
At least 10 people were killed in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, with three killed in the eastern town of Pokrovsk and one in Dnipro.
The attacks included Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, one of the most advanced Russian weapons, the Ukrainian air force said.
The Kinzhal flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept. City buildings shook from the blasts.
At the children's hospital, a two-story building was partly destroyed. On the hospital's main 10-story building, windows and doors were blown out and walls were blackened. Blood spattered the floor in one room.
Medical personnel and local people helped shift the rubble as they searched for children and medical workers who could be trapped underneath. Volunteers formed a line, passing stones and debris to each other. Smoke still rose from the building, and volunteers and emergency crews worked in protective masks.
The attack forced the hospital to shut down and evacuate. Some mothers carried their children away on their backs. Others waited in the courtyard with their children as calls to doctors' phones rang unanswered.

An entire section of a residential multistory building in one district of Kyiv was destroyed, officials said. Three electricity substations were damaged or completely destroyed in two districts of Kyiv, energy company DTEK said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had targeted five cities with more than 40 missiles of different types.

It’s pretty easy for Russia to stop attacking Ukraine.
How so? Link to the proof please.
Sure, ruZZian missiles are so accurate. ruZZians just don't care about any resulting civilian casualties.
They even fired 1960's anti-shipping missiles against Ukrainian cities known for their inaccuracies.
Russia Now Using Giant Soviet-Era Ground-Launched Anti-Ship Missile To Attack Ukraine
A Cold War-era supersonic anti-ship missile has apparently been used by Russia for the first time in its war in Ukraine, almost certainly having been repurposed for the bombardment of a land target.
Evidence of the huge missile — known to NATO as the SSC-1B Sepal — having been used in this way points to the fact that Russia is increasingly making use of much older weaponry in this conflict as well as using missiles in roles for which they were not primarily designed.

Looks like Amerika is getting their money’s worth out of over 200 billion. NEVER should have stood by Ukraine. Europe’s problem, and our biolabs on border didn’t help either.
Re: 40 - meaning?
Sir, please disregard my previous question from a previous thread.
Now I get your point.
You’re in!

Those cites would not be in rubble and those explosions would not be occurring if Zelensky had chosen peace instead of NATO proxy war back in the spring of 2022.
He choose poorly back then and a million or more Ukrainians and Russians will have lost their lives and many more will have had their lives ruined by the time this senseless proxy war is ended is ended on much less favorable terms to Ukraine than it would gotten a few weeks into the conflict before all the death and destruction.
But then, that's what the goals of the people driving the proxy war are - reduce the Ukraine to rubble and economic collapse so they can come in and buy up the wreckage of the country for less than pennies on the dollar and then use Western tax payer money to rebuild the country so they own the country and make a financial killing in Ukraine to follow up on the literal killing they brought upon the Ukrainian people and it's economy.
You choose poorly because you are supporting this senseless and evil destruction of the Ukraine and it's people.
Will the liberals cry and rend their clothes as they did for the bogus report of Israel hitting a Pali hospital? OF COURSE NOT!
“Those cites would not be in rubble and those explosions would not be occurring if Zelensky had chosen peace”
Wow. This statement is a special kind of stupid.
How long have you been Putin’s boyfriend?
Remember how you guys cheered the attack on the theater?
Polish experts confirm missile that hit grain facility was Ukrainian
Add to it Zagreb attack and Kramatorsk terminal massacre, all proved deliberate Ukrainian attacks.
This hospital strike seems like SAM on top of that.
Russians didn't want peace, they demanded complete surrender.
Jakub Kumoch, Foreign reveals the backstage of the negotiations. Russia did not want peace, only the capitulation of Ukraine
Jakub Kumoch, former Secretary of State of President Andrzej Duda, who accompanied the Ukrainian delegation to negotiations with Russia in Belarus and Turkey in the spring of 2022, told the newspaper The Polish Times.
Let us call it mildly: singularly. It was a draft with the comments of both sides. The document was clearly prepared before the Russian invasion and by the Russians. He provided, among other things, the recognition of the annexation of Crimea, the so-called independence of the eastern regions of Ukraine, the reduction of the size of the Ukrainian army, bilingualism, the ban on joining NATO, perpetual neutrality, etc. There were also purely demeaning elements, such as a commitment to denazification or the introduction of the Great Patriotic War, as the Russians call their contribution to World War II. Things that A State never imposes on State B. Meanwhile, Russia has brought in the entire list of laws that Ukraine is to change. It began with the Constitution.

You are a reprehensible Putin fanboy.
Yes, like Hamas did consistently.
Vladimir Putin is a psycho shit.
Putin’s design was to kill the Ukrainian government and take over the country. What could Zelensky do except fight?
Yeah, no shielding doctors and children. Shame on Ukraine!
Still playing the fool, I see.
