Russian airstrikes hit three hospitals in Ukraine on Wednesday, including two west of the capital and a maternity hospital in Mariupol. 17 people were wounded in what Ukrainian officials labelled a “war crime” and an “atrocity”. The attacks came amid hopes for mass evacuations of civilians from several besieged Ukrainian cities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeals to Russian soldiers to save themselves and “just go home”. Russia, without evidence, accuses Ukraine of having chemical weapons labs. White House press secretary Jen Psaki calls Russia’s claim “preposterous”. Some 18,000 people are evacuated from embattled towns in the Kyiv region to the capital itself.
