Russia was yesterday accused of a “cowardly and depraved attack” after a missile strike hit a major children’s hospital in Kyiv.

Barbara Woodward, the UK’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), said the attack on the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital would be discussed at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council today.
