Ukraine: Ukraine accuses Russia of atrocity for Mariupol hospital bombing
Ukraine accused Russian forces of breaching a ceasefire and destroying a hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol, as aid agencies warned of a humanitarian disaster unfolding in the city.
Posting a video from inside a maternity ward that appeared devastated by bombing, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russia was responsible for an “atrocity”.
“People, children are under the wreckage,” Zelensky wrote. “How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror?
Mariupol, a port city of 460,000, has been one of the hardest hit in a war that is raging with no end in sight, laying waste to urban areas, unsettling the world economy and driving more than 2mn civilians out of the country in search of refuge.
