Horror as 'children under the wreckage' of maternity hospital hit by Russian air strike in Ukraine

'Children are under the wreckage' of a maternity hospital targeted by a Russian air strike in the beseiged port city of Mariupol, the President of Ukraine said.

Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack an 'atrocity' as he shared to Twitter video footage of the damage caused, with distressing images showing cots and medical equipment.

The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, called the incident 'depraved' but Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary, again directly ruled out the possibility of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, saying: "The reality is that setting up a no-fly zone would lead to a direct confrontation between Nato and Russia, and that is not what we’re looking at."
