Russia's UN Ambassador said on July 9 that his country was not responsible for the July 8 attack on Kyiv's main children's hospital, putting the blame on a stray Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.
"We have not bombed the children's hospital," Vassily Nebenzia said, speaking to reporters at the United Nations in New York City.
Ukraine's security service said it had unequivocal evidence the medical facility was hit by a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile during the deadliest series of strikes in months, and published images of what it said were fragments of the weapon's engine.
The Kremlin said, without providing evidence, it was Ukrainian anti-missile fire, not Russia, that struck the children's hospital, which is one of Europe's largest and treats patients with serious conditions such as cancer and kidney disease.
Ukraine flew its flags at half mast on a national day of mourning to mark the deaths of 44 people across the country from Monday's air attacks, including four children and two people at the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in the capital.
