At least 23 people, including 3 children, were killed and up to 66 others wounded after Russian missiles struck civilian buildings and a cultural centre in the city of Vinnytsia. Ukraine’s state emergency service says it is still searching for 39 people who are considered missing, while 34 remain in serious condition.

Ukraine’s president called the Russian attack in Vinnytsia “an open act of terrorism”. In a video address at The Hague conference, Volodymyr Zelensky urged European and international criminal court officials to open a “special tribunal” to investigate Russia’s invasion of his country.

A top Ukrainian official said the missile attacks in Vinnytsia were an “approved military strategy” by Vladimir Putin. Mykhailo Podolyak, the head of Ukraine’s negotiating team and a key adviser to Zelensky, said Russian forces were attacking peaceful Ukrainian cities such as Vinnytsia, Kremenchuk, Chasiv Yar and Kharkiv in order to force Ukrainians to “peace at any price”.

A 4-year-old girl was killed in the Vinnytsia strike with social media posts charting her life and death. Footage – which the Guardian is not publishing – showed Liza Dmitrieva lying dead in her overturned pushchair. “A girl is among the dead today in Vinnytsia, she was four years old, her name was Liza. The child was four years old! Her mother is in critical condition”, - Zelensky said.
