Ukraine observes day of mourning after deadly Russian missile strikes | BBC News

A day of mourning is being observed in Ukraine after one of the worst waves of Russian missile strikes in months, with at least 41 people killed and 166 injured.

The main children's hospital in the capital Kyiv was among buildings hit in cities across the country on Monday.

Russia denied targeting the Kyiv hospital, saying it had been hit by fragments of a Ukrainian air defence missile, while Ukraine said it had found remnants of a Russian cruise missile.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack "brutal" and described his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a "bloody criminal".

Condolences and condemnations are not a replacement for the air defense.

Where's the BBC when Palestinians are mourning their dead children?.

[noloatmo]

Our leaders are always reacting when the damage is done instead of being proactive. That is a clear sign of absence of leadership and planning, unfortunately. Show some backbone!

[underconstruction]

This is nothing compared to what is happening in Gaza.

[ahmedtijjaniumar]

Same with what is happening in Gaza no difference the West and America are supporting Israel to do the same

[vasilimacharadze]

It is ridiculous to impose restrictions on Ukraine's ability to defend itself!

[RobJ]

How did this happen when your reports always show you shoot down every single Russian missile something not right there I think it might be your air defence systems

[AnjulaGodakumbura]

Very fishy.. 🤔
Just before NATO meeting?...
Couldve been a misfire or false flag.. but the loss of life is very sad 😔😊

[vladimirvoznesensky]

Several rooms destroyed, but largest Ukraine children hospital. What a nonsense.

This war has cost Ukraine a generation of men. They are about sacrifice another generation with their call ups. No wonder so many youngsters are trying to flee the country. UK are you proud ? You told Ukraine fight or lose all support. Why?

[MuhUmar-zb]

BBC doesn't cover palastine 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[AlexanderTkachuk]

This strike is not an accident, it is a clear message from Russia to the West when NATO is about to have its summit. I think the West should make a tangible response like removing any limits to strike the Russian territory. Mere statements of support for Ukraine will not work as Russia is stepping up.

WHAT ABOUT THE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN THAT WERE HARMED IN THEIR HOSPITALS. .... DON'T THEY DESERVE THE SAME JUSTICE

[pessi]

What about the 186, 000 murdered in Gaza

[slavadd]

к/с Довженко, массовка в работе🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[bernkoh]

Many are saying it's Ukraine defend system missile hit the hospital and quick to blame Russia.

[nandotorres]

¿Ready to start negotiations or not yet?

[xlionpokaran]

The US and the West should be blame for the prolong war and innocent life's lost.

[henrysantos]

My deepest condolences to the family members involved.🙏.
