On Monday, Russia carried out a massive missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev and other cities, killing and injuring dozens of civilians.
An analysis by the German news agency BILD shows that a Russian X-101 missile targeted the Ohmatdit children's hospital. in Kyiv. Camera footage clearly shows the Russian missile a second before it hit the medical facility.
It was not intercepted by the Ukrainian air defense. According to analysts, the missile was launched by a Tu-95 strategic bomber. It neither deviated from its target nor disintegrated into fragments during its flight, but deliberately flew to the hospital.
This was a planned attack on medical facilities, and Western-supplied air defense systems could not prevent it. BILD points out that the air defense umbrella consisting of Patriot, IRIS-T and other systems failed to prevent the attack. Either Ukraine no longer has missiles, or the systems in question have become targets. In any case, this is a disaster for Ukraine, the German newspaper points out.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced that there will be retaliatory actions after the Russian missile attack on Ukrainian territory, which destroyed a children's hospital in the capital, Kyiv. Ukraine will insist on a meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with this strike, the head of state said.
