A children’s hospital has been seriously damaged in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv by Russian strikes, as 33 people were killed across the country in an early morning barrage.

At least 19 people were killed in Kyiv by the rare daytime attack, including two who died at the Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital – Ukraine’s biggest paediatrics facility – which sustained major damage during the blast.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is visiting Poland where he signed a security pact, vowed to retaliate.
