A Russian strike destroyed a crowded children's hospital in the center of Kyiv on July 8, 2024. The attack occurred at approximately 6:12 am local time, and it is believed that the hospital was deliberately targeted by Russian forces.
The hospital was providing care to dozens of children at the time of the attack. Many of the children were severely injured, and some were killed. The attack has been widely condemned by world leaders, who have called it a "war crime".
The strike on the children's hospital is just one example of the escalating violence in Ukraine. Russian forces have been carrying out a series of airstrikes on civilian targets in recent days, and the death toll is rising.
The Ukrainian government has called on the international community to do more to stop the Russian aggression. The United States and other Western countries have imposed sanctions on Russia, but they have been reluctant to provide direct military assistance to Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine is a humanitarian crisis, and the attack on the children's hospital is a reminder of the innocent lives that are being lost. The world must do more to stop the violence and protect the people of Ukraine.
