Kuleba calls for providing Ukraine with aircraft after air strike hit maternity hospital in Mariupol

Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba has called on international partners to provide Ukraine with aircraft after a Russian air strike hit a maternity hospital in Mariupol.

The minister wrote this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

“Petrifying war crime in Mariupol. Russian air strike targeted a hospital and a maternity house. We could stop this barbarism by protecting our skies. For the sake of humanity, provide us with aircraft, now! Lives are being lost while this is being considered over and over again,” he wrote.

As reported, on Wednesday, a Russian air strike on Mariupol destroyed a maternity hospital, a hospital as well as children's and therapeutic departments. A shell hole with a diameter of more than 10 meters remained at the crash site.

Zelensky called the fact of the Russian air strike as "atrocity".
