A Russian missile attack which hit a Kyiv children’s hospital is “a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance”, Ukraine's top Catholic leader has said.
The rockets killed at least nine people at the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, Kyiv’s largest medical facility for children, and wounded 33 other civilians. A private maternity hospital was also partially destroyed during the missile attack.
Pictures released to the media show child cancer patients being evacuated alongside their parents.
His Beatitude Sviatoslav, the spiritual leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, said: “It is horrifying to see that the children who came to save their lives in the artificial kidney centre were ruthlessly killed by Russian criminals.”
