US President Joe Biden has condemned a wave of Russian missile strikes that killed at least 40 people in Ukraine, calling them a “horrific reminder of Russia’s brutality” and also vowing to bolster Kyiv’s air defences.

At least 190 people have been infected across the country, including some at a children’s hospital in the capital, Kyiv, on Monday.

Russia on Monday denied targeting the Kiev hospital, saying it was hit by shrapnel from a Ukrainian air defense missile, while Ukraine said it had found remains of a Russian cruise missile.

Biden’s remarks came as Washington hosts a NATO summit on Tuesday and into Thursday.
