Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of bombing a children’s hospital in the besieged port of Mariupol during an agreed ceasefire to enable civilians trapped in the city to escape.

Russia had said it would hold fire to let thousands of civilians flee Mariupol and other besieged cities on Wednesday. But the city council said the hospital had been hit several times by an air strike.

“The destruction is colossal,” it said in an online post.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it an “atrocity.”

“Direct strike of Russian troops at the maternity hospital. People, children are under the wreckage,” he said on Twitter.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, asked by Reuters for comment on the reported bombing, said: “Russian forces do not fire on civilian targets.”

Is that in the same complex as an aspirin factory?

Looks like a strike at military equipment outside the hospital.

The Russian troops can't wait to get there to bayonet the surviving babies.

In their incubators.

When you’re hosting bio weapons labs you’re at fault, Ukraine, no matter how rotten your enemies are.

--> Ukraine accused Russia

Maybe we will know someday...

Baby Milk Aspirin Wheelchair factory was missed?

Goebbels would be proud. The propaganda flow is so thick you can walk on it.

It just so happened to be a good place to store munitions and put an anti-aircraft gun on the roof.

It will turn out, of course, that Ukraine soldiers fired on Russian forces first. Like it usually does.

[Clemenza]

As they should, as they are defending their country by sending Russians to hell.

[roving]

Russia invaded Ukraine. I would hope they fired on the Russians

[Drew68]

There's zero tactical reason for the Russians to bomb a hospital. Hospitals are very useful during wartime.

Good propaganda though.

Prayers for all the children.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Did they thow babies out of incubators, and take them back to Russia?

[Huskrrrr]

This is not the act of a man who will hesitate to escalate this war to WWIII.

Paging Green Helmet Guy. ‘Your wanted in Ukraine’

[katie didit]

Zelensky really wants that no fly zone.

Beginning to despise this guy.

He’s a tool.
