Biden says deadly missile strikes are ‘horrific reminder of Russia’s brutality’

US President Joe Biden said on Monday that deadly Russian missile strikes in Ukraine, including on the main children’s hospital in Kyiv, were “a horrific reminder of Russia’s brutality.”

Russia blasted the hospital in Kyiv with a missile in broad daylight on Monday and rained missiles down on other cities across Ukraine, killing at least 36 civilians in the deadliest wave of air strikes for months.

Biden added in his statement that Washington and its NATO allies will be announcing this week new measures to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses.
