Emergency meeting of the Security Council regarding the incident at the Children’s Hospital in Kyiv
quoted by France 24, Farhan Aziz Haq, the spokesman of the United Nations, announced that the Security Council, at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, regarding the attack attributed to Russia on the children’s hospital in Kyiv will hold an emergency meeting today.
According to Farhan Haq, this meeting is going to be held this evening. Zelensky claims that 38 civilians were killed and 190 were injured in the Russian missile attack on Kiev and several other Ukrainian cities.
The United Nations, in response to Zelenskiy’s claim, claimed that “there is a high possibility that the Kyiv hospital was targeted by a direct Russian missile attack.”
Danielle Bell, head of the UN Human Rights Watch office in Ukraine, echoed Zelenskiy’s claim, saying that the attack was one of the “horrific attacks since the beginning of Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine.”
However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized today that Russia never attacks civilian infrastructure and that the incident occurred due to the fall of a Ukrainian anti-missile on the hospital building.
Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, also strongly rejected Kiev’s claim and announced that the US-made Nasamz missile, which was provided to Ukraine by the West, hit this hospital.
