KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missiles killed at least seven people and struck a children’s hospital in the Ukarinian capital, Kyiv, Monday, while another attack in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih killed at least 10.

The Russian barrage targeted five Ukrainian cities with more than 40 missiles of different types, hitting apartment buildings and public infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post.

At least 20 people were killed and around 50 people were injured across the country in the Monday morning onslaught, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. In Kryvyi Rih, 31 people were injured in addition to the 10 deaths in what the head of city administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said was a massive missile attack. Explosions were also reported by local officials in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region.

At the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv, rescuers were searching for people under the rubble of a partially collapsed wing of the facility, Zelenskyy said, adding that the number of casualties was not yet known.

"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,” Zelenskyy said on social media.

1. If ISIS did this, it would be called terrorism, but the Russian army does it... "Unfortunate that this happens in war"

3. Fascists aren't benevolent

They prefer to attack the vulnerable to instill fear and suffering. And it thrills them.

Bankrupt russia. Topple putin. Rid the world of this evil.

4. Time for F-16's to hit some military installations inside Russia?

7. Whose F-16s?

Ukraine's? They're not ready to go AFAIK.

11. Multiple nations have donated attack aircraft.

I don’t care whose they use to start hammering them on their turf. Past time

5. And cheers of jubilation could be heard from The MAGA.

6. I guess this proves that Russians are no better than Hamas and ISIS

Terrorists have no morals, no loyalties, no principles other than "the end justifies the means."

8. Destroy Putin

I'm not a war monger, just a human being who can discern true evil when I see it. Putin must be destroyed by whatever means necessary.

9. Does anyone think this would end if Putin is gone?

Like trump, he has an army of power-hungry enablers.

Hoping at some point, the Russian people will get tired enough of deprivation to throw over the whole government.

10. This is not the first children's hospital they have hit, just one in a large city.

So much news, people forget. Near the beginning of the war, they bombed a CHILDREN'S CANCER HOSPITAL. And remember how they bombed a location clearly marked as a children's refuge?

It is difficult to believe there is still such evil in a supposedly civilized part of the world. How can these people live with themselves?
