Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky announced today that he summoned Russia's ambassador to Prague after the attack on a children's hospital in the Ukrainian capital, calling the perpetrators of the attack "the scum of humanity," Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.< /p>
Ukrainian authorities say Russia launched a cruise missile strike at the main children's hospital in Kyiv and fired missiles at other cities, killing at least 41 civilians across the country.
Russia has denied attacking a children's hospital in Kiev and said, without providing evidence, that the medical facility was hit by Ukrainian anti-missile fire.
"I decided to call the Russian ambassador," Lipavski wrote on the “X“ social network. "Murderers who attack children in hospitals are the dregs of humanity. He has been instructed to deliver the message to Moscow," the Czech foreign minister added.
The Russian ambassador met with a Czech deputy minister while Lipavsky was traveling to the NATO summit in Washington, CTK news agency reported.
