A day of mourning is being observed in Ukraine after one of the worst waves of Russian missile strikes in months, with at least 41 people killed and 166 injured.

The main children's hospital in the capital Kyiv was among buildings hit in cities across the country on Monday.

Russia denied targeting the Kyiv hospital, saying it had been hit by fragments of a Ukrainian air defence missile, while Ukraine said it had found remnants of a Russian cruise missile.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack "brutal" and described his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a "bloody criminal".

    Condolences and condemnations are not a replacement for the air defense.

    Our leaders are always reacting when the damage is done instead of being proactive. That is a clear sign of absence of leadership and planning, unfortunately. Show some backbone!

    By which eyes will the lifeless bodies of the feeble children be seen? Will the tear not well up from the very eyes? Are these eyes not shedding even a drop of tear? Deep condolences from Burma.
