The children who Russia cannot abduct and brainwash, Russia kills. Such a statement the Permanent Representative of Ukraine at the UN Security Council made at the extraordinary session of the UNSC.

“According to information from the Defence Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Federation launched 38 missiles, including Kinzhal aero ballistic missile, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Zirkon hypersonic cruise missile, Kh-101, Kh-22 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Kh-59/69 guided aerial missiles.

Almost one hundred civilian sites were savagely attacked: medical and educational facilities, residential buildings, business-centers, industries. In Kryvyi Rih, eleven people were killed following the attack on the administrative building of a local industrial facility.

In Kyiv, along with the Okhmatdyt Hospital, the list of targets includes a maternity hospital, where 9 people were killed; and a residential building, where the Russians killed 7 residents, including 4 children.

Let us not forget that the pains Russia goes to harm Ukrainian children has been a mainstream aspect of their aggression from the very beginning. The children who Russia cannot abduct and brainwash, Russia kills.

Let us not forget that Russia is kept on the “list of shame” for the crimes its armed forces have committed against children. Let us not forget that the person sitting today at the head of the table represents a wanted criminal, suspected of crimes against children and subject to arrest under the ICC warrant.

At least forty-seven people were killed and more than 190 were wounded following yesterday’s strike.

Putin’s envoy employed his usual tactics of denying reality and blaming Ukrainian air defense. I recall clear footage of the Russian missile approaching the hospital, the scale of the destruction and the eyewitness accounts”, - said Sergiy Kyslytsya.
