Ukrainian authorities stated that 16 people were injured, including seven children. [17] Cancer patients were evacuated from the hospital with their parents.

Russia claimed that the strikes were retaliation and hit defence industry targets [20] and the destruction was caused by Ukrainian air defenses. [21] The Security Service of Ukraine said it had found fragments of a Kh-101 missile. [5] According to OSINT analysis, the Kh-101 missile was fully functional, powered by jet engine in flight and undamaged until impact.

Ukraine

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on NATO members states to show a "greater resilience and stronger response" to Russia's attacks on Ukrainian land and children, calling for concrete action towards providing air defense. Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak stated that calls for an "immediate ceasefire" by Hungary and China only pushes further Russian aggression by spreading a "false feeling" that "the aggressor has the right to kill because he speaks of ‘peace’, and the victim should not defend himself". [32] The attacks happened just before a NATO summit in Washington was planned to be held, with Ukraine participating. [8]

Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin reported sending all information about the attacks to the International Criminal Court. [32]

Russia

On 8 July the Russian defence ministry stated that "in response to attempts by the Kyiv regime to damage Russian energy and economic facilities", Russian forces had carried out strikes on defence industry targets and aviation bases in Ukraine, [35] claiming that damage to civilian infrastructure was done by a falling Ukrainian air defense missile launched from within the city. [36] The ministry claimed it had achieved its objectives and struck all designated targets. [35]

United Nations and NGO groups

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called Russia's missile strikes "particularly shocking". [37] Denise Brown, UN aid coordinator in Ukraine, condemned the attack and called for civilians to be protected. Munir Mammadzade, UNICEF representative, said that the Russian invasion "continues impacting children disproportionately". [38] The United Nations Security Council planned an ad hoc meeting on 9 July in response to the civilian attacks after being requested to by France, Britain, Slovenia, Ecuador, and the United States. [32] UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission declared "high likelihood" of "direct hit" by Russian missile rather than debris. [24]

Amnesty International condemned the attack and placed the blame on Russia, calling its attempt to blame Ukraine for the attack "a callous audacity". [39] Human Rights Watch wrote: "Attacks directed at medical facilities are war crimes under international humanitarian law, and the strike that hit Okhmatdyt children’s hospital should be investigated as a potential war crime". [14]

Other countries

The French Foreign Ministry referred to the attacks as "barbaric", specifically citing deliberate attacks on a children's hospital as "added to the list of war crimes" Russia propagated during the war. Foreign Minister of Italy Antonio Tajani condemned the attacks and asserted the Italian government's commitment to defending Ukraine's sovereignty. [32]

German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced that Germany is ready to provide medical assistance to Ukrainian children affected by the missile attack on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital. [40]

US President Joe Biden referred to the attacks as "a horrific reminder of Russia's brutality" and called on the international community to stand with Ukraine and to not disregard Russian acts of aggression. He also stated that his government and NATO would announce more programs to grant aid and support to Ukraine, including increasing their air defense capabilities. [41]

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned "attacking innocent children" as the "most depraved of actions". [42]

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský said, "Murderers who attack children in hospitals are the dregs of humanity." [43]

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told reporters while seated alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin that "any person who believes in humanity is troubled when there are deaths, especially when innocent children die." [44] Modi visited Moscow to meet Putin on 8 July 2024. The two embraced as Modi climbed out of his car; this act was criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as it happened on the same day that Russian missiles struck a children's hospital in Kyiv. [45]

Moldovan President Maia Sandu condemned the strike against the children's hospital, protested against what she called war crimes and a "war against children" and called for a future in which every child "has the chance to live in peace and well-being". Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Cristina Gherasimov visited the hospital to pay tribute to the victims, condemning the strike and calling for war crimes to be judged. [19]
