Harrowing images show blood-soaked children injured in a Russian airstrike that killed 18 people — including two kids — in an apartment building Tuesday, according to Ukraine’s government.
The distressing images were shared as Ukraine also accused invading forces of violating a cease-fire and attacking an evacuation route — as more than 2 million people have already fled the war-torn nation.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed there were “very creditable reports of civilians coming under fire as they try to evacuate,” calling it “totally unacceptable” and amounting to “a war crime.”
One image showed a tiny child caked in blood and dust, with bloodied bandages wrapped around the head. Other images appeared to show some of the almost two dozen killed in the attack in Sumy, the first major city that was starting to be evacuated Tuesday.
