The victims are forgotten once the finger-pointing and posturing starts. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
The war in Ukraine continues on a downward spiral, taking another grim and tragic turn, amid widespread allegations that Russian forces destroyed a children’s hospital in Kiev amid a bigger barrage of missiles which hit several sites on Monday.
UN officials and Ukraine authorities say at least 31 people were killed Monday after some 40 missiles were launched across the country. There are reports that people are still buried under the rubble of Okhmatdyt children’s hospital. Local officials say at least seven have been killed in these specific strikes on the Ukrainian capital.
Okhmatdyt has a children’s cancer ward, and images have been widely circulating of children receiving IV treatments on a nearby sidewalk after the hospital was reduced to ruins. Britain’s Foreign Minister David Lammy blasted the hospital strike as “an appalling attack on Ukrainian civilians.”
France also called it a “barbaric” act, with a statement saying “Deliberately targeting a children’s hospital can be added to the list of war crimes for which Russia will have to account.” And a German foreign ministry statement additionally called out President Putin directly, saying, “This is what Putin’s… willingness to negotiate and desire for peace look like.”
