Russia launched missiles at a children’s hospital in Kyiv, in a barrage that killed at least 20 people in a number of cities.
Explosions rang out and black smoke could be seen rising from the centre of Kyiv, according to reports.
Pictures distributed by officials from the children’s medical facility in Kyiv showed people digging through mounds of rubble, black smoke billowing over a gutted building and medical staff wearing blood-stained scrubs.
The rare daytime Russian barrage came as Volodymyr Zelensky was due in Warsaw before he flies to the Nato summit in Washington.
