Andriy Yermak, head of Zelenskyy’s office, added that the Russians deliberately targeted the hospital. “They purposefully attacked the children today,” Yermak said in a Telegram post Monday.
As of now, seven people have been killed and 25 injured in the attack just in Kyiv, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said in a statement.
Debris and missiles caused massive destruction and fires in eight districts of Kyiv, Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv regional military administration, said in a statement.
“Patients of the children’s hospital are being evacuated in other hospitals of Kyiv,” the city Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Overall 20 people were killed and more than 50 reported injured during the widespread attack across the country, Klymenko said.
“Today, the country felt not fear, but even more rage and hatred. There will be an answer for terror against civilians and children,” he added.
