A children's hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine was hit by Russian missiles during a daytime attack, resulting in significant damage and casualties.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. Russian terrorists once again massively attacked Ukraine with missiles in different cities: Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rig, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk.
2. I am struck by the images of the bombings in Kyiv which also hit a children's hospital. War crimes that must be condemned by the entire international community. The [Italian] government will continue to defend the sovereignty of Ukraine and its people.
3. There are people under the rubble and the exact number of casualties is still unknown.
4. All services are involved to save as many people as possible.
5. It is very important that the world should not be silent about it now and that everyone should see what Russia is and what it is doing.
6. The rescue operation after yesterday's Russian missile attack continues.
7. Russia cannot claim ignorance of where its missiles are flying, and must be held fully accountable for all its crimes.
8. Different cities: Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk. More than 40 missiles of various types. Residential buildings, infrastructure and a children's hospital were damaged.
9. Apartment buildings, infrastructure, and a children's hospital have been damaged. All services are engaged to rescue as many people as possible.
Andrey Yermak
Ukraine Government
1. This shelling targeted civilians, hit infrastructure, and the whole world should see today the consequences of terror, which can only be responded to with force.
Joe Biden
Democratic Party
1. Russia's missile strikes that today killed dozens of Ukrainian civilians and caused damage and casualties at Kyiv's largest children's hospital are a horrific reminder of Russia's brutality.
2. I will be meeting with President Zelenskyy to make clear our support for Ukraine is unshakeable.
Russian Defense Ministry
1. The statements by the regime in Kyiv about Russia's allegedly deliberate missile strike on civilian sites are absolutely unreal.
2. Multiple photos and video footage from Kyiv undoubtedly confirm the fact of destruction due to the fall of a Ukrainian air defence missile launched within the city limits.
3. We continue to insist that we do not attack civilian targets. Strikes are carried out against critical infrastructure facilities, against military targets that are in one way or another related to the military potential of the regime.
Samuel Zbogar
1. Mr President, we are appalled by the strikes on Ukraine by the country that you are representing.
International Rescue Committee
1. No child should grow up under the threat of missile strikes. No child should risk dying amid the rubble of hospitals meant to be safe havens for healing and recovery.
Volker Türk
United Nations
1. This is abominable, and I implore those with influence to do everything in their power to ensure these attacks stop immediately.
Joyce Msuya
United Nations
1. Intentionally directing attacks against a protected hospital is a war crime and perpetrators must be held to account.
2. These incidents are part of a deeply concerning pattern of systemic attacks harming healthcare and other civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.
3. First Responders attending the scene immediately after the attack found children receiving treatment for cancer in hospital beds, set up in parks and on the street, where medical workers had quickly established triage areas.
