Russia struck cities across Ukraine on Monday with a missile barrage that killed 31 people and heavily damaged a Kyiv children’s hospital in an assault condemned as a ruthless attack on civilians.
Dozens of volunteers, doctors, and rescue workers were digging through the debris of a part of Okhmatdyt Pediatric Hospital in a desperate search for survivors.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces fired more than 40 missiles toward at least five major civilian hubs, mainly in the south and east of the country, as well as the capital.
Zelensky arrived in Poland as news of the strikes broke to sign a security deal with Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw, where the leaders held of minute of silence for the victims.
