Devastation in Ukraine: Nation Mourns After Deadly Russian Air Strikes
Kyiv, Ukraine – A solemn day of mourning is observed across Ukraine following one of the most devastating waves of Russian missile strikes in recent months, leaving at least 41 dead and 166 injured. The destruction reached the heart of the nation, including a devastating blow to Kyiv's main children's hospital.
On Monday, missiles targeted cities across Ukraine, with the Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine's largest pediatric facility, suffering severe damage. Two people lost their lives as a missile obliterated part of the hospital, prompting a frantic overnight search for survivors beneath the rubble.
Meanwhile, the governor of Russia's southern Belgorod region, adjacent to Ukraine, reported four deaths due to Ukrainian strikes within the last 24 hours.
Russia has denied attacking the Kyiv hospital, suggesting it was hit by fragments from a Ukrainian air defense missile, a claim Ukraine refutes, citing remnants of a Russian cruise missile found at the site.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as "brutal," branding Russian President Vladimir Putin a "bloody criminal." The incident has mobilized global leaders, with NATO preparing for a summit in Washington to address its response to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
International condemnation has poured in, including strong words from the new British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, who called the strikes on children "the most depraved of actions," promising unwavering support for Kyiv. U.S. President Joe Biden described the strikes as a "horrific reminder of Russia's brutality" and announced forthcoming support for Ukraine's air defense systems.
President Zelensky reported that Russia launched over 40 missiles on Monday, causing widespread damage to nearly 100 buildings in cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk, and Kramatorsk. Harrowing images emerged from the blast site at the Kyiv hospital, showing children connected to IV drips seated outside the damaged facility, awaiting evacuation. Rescue workers and medical teams continued to dig through the debris in search of survivors.
Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the attacks as some of the worst the city has faced since the war began. He ordered flags to be flown at half-mast and canceled entertainment events, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The hospital strike injured 16 people, including seven children.
In a poignant gesture, Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina wore a black ribbon during her match at Wimbledon on Monday. Struggling to hold back tears in her post-match interview, she shared the difficulty of focusing amidst the tragic news from home.
The UN's human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine has reported a sharp increase in civilian casualties in recent months, with May being the deadliest month for civilian deaths in nearly a year.
Adding to the tension, on Tuesday morning, the governor of Russia's Rostov region reported a fire at a power plant following a drone attack by Ukraine, involving "tens" of drones.
As Ukraine grieves, the international community's response and support will be crucial in the coming days, with the ongoing conflict showing little sign of abating.
