This week's bombing of the main children's hospital in the heart of Kyiv is the latest and most gruesome reminder of Vladimir Putin's war crimes... linked up to IV drips, awaiting evacuation.
The casualties from the attack that flattened much of the Okhmatdyt hospital include children undergoing transplants and those who have cancer and kidney disease... at least 41 people killed and 166 injured.
The number of children killed across Ukraine has risen dramatically by 40% this year compared to last and this week's carnage brings the total number of child deaths since the war started to more than 600... indiscriminate attacks on schools and hospitals in Ukraine and elsewhere.
But the rights of children in conflict zones are too often forgotten, as I argued when writing about Gaza recently... denying targeting the Kyiv hospital, and claiming the children had been hit by fragments of a Ukrainian air defence missile.
