As leaders gather to mark NATO's 75th anniversary, Russia has launched 40 missiles into Ukraine. This callous aggression - a total disregard for human life that jeopardizes European and transatlantic security - is why leaders will make significant commitments to Ukraine's security this week,

German Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Jaeger commented on today's massive attack on Ukraine in the social network X.

This morning, the Russian side launched a missile attack on Ukraine, including Kyiv. Among other things, the Okhmatdyt children's hospital was damaged. There are many casualties in Kyiv - dead and wounded. This is a war against civilians. This is what Russia's willingness to negotiate and its desire for peace looks like,

Also, Austrian Ambassador Arad Benkö is shocked by the shooting on the territory of the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv.

This time it hit the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital. Austria has supported this center and many of its departments for many years. This is a facility that cares for babies and children. This Russian attack is pure terror,
