Ukraine wants ICC to prosecute Russia over Kyiv hospital attack

Ukraine’s top prosecutor has called for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Russia over a missile strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv earlier this week.

The capital suffered on July 8 one of its worst days of air strikes since the start of Russia’s war, with attacks across the country killing at least 44 people, including two adults at Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, Ukrainian officials have said.

“For the sake of international justice, cases like the intentional attack on the biggest child hospital in Kyiv (are) worth lifting to the ICC,” prosecutor-general Andriy Kostin told Reuters late on July 11 in an interview in The Hague, where the ICC is based.
