“Analysis of the video footage and an assessment made at the incident site indicates a high likelihood that the children’s hospital suffered a direct hit rather than receiving damage due to an intercepted weapon system,” the head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said. Nato on July 9 begins a three-day summit of the alliance’s leaders in Washington, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky set to attend as he seeks to win commitments from allies to beef up Ukraine’s air defences and boost their military support.
Mr Modi’s pointed remark was an implicit rebuke to Mr Putin, who moments earlier had welcomed him to the Kremlin with a warm statement on the importance of the strategic ties between the two countries. Mr Zelensky put the death toll from the July 8 assault at 38 with 190 wounded, although tallies of casualties from impact sites in different regions brought the total to at least 41.
