Zelensky accused Russia of bombing a children’s hospital in Mariupol

The war in Ukraine is going through its 13th day of invasion by Russian forces and in certain regions the information arrives in a limited or modified way, from the constant attacks and resistance that generate strong explosions, deaths and even destroyed hospitals. In this case, Ukrainian President Volomidir Zelensky posted a message on his social media from an attack on a children’s hospital in Mariupol. “Direct attack by Russian troops on the maternity hospital. People, children are under the rubble. Atrocity!” he said. After his speeches, the president again directed his anger at NATO for refusing to declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine. “How much longer will the world be complicit in ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity.”
