Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko blasts Russia for 'sewing hatred that will last an eternity' after killing Ukrainian kids

THE MAYOR of Kyiv has blasted Russia for “sewing hatred that will last an eternity” after troops killed Ukrainian kids.

Former boxer Vitali Klitschko has called on the Russian public to stop listening to the “propaganda of a mad dictator” in a chilling video message.



It comes after a Russian airstrike destroyed a maternity hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol earlier this week.

President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed the hospital suffered a "direct strike" and children were left buried under the rubble on Wednesday afternoon, branding the attack as an act of "genocide".

The explosion was so powerful that the ground shook more than a mile away from the blast.

Klitschko today posted a video to Twitter condemning the attack, and slamming everyday Russians for allowing the war to continue.

He said: “This is a message to the Russians, to those who are still able to think.

“With imperial ambitions, the invasion of Ukraine, and the barbarity of your so-called army, you have sowed hatred for eternity.”

Wednesday's airstrike was carried out during an agreed ceasefire period that was meant to allow the evacuation of civilians from the besieged southern city.

He explained: “It is your soldiers who are your husbands or sons that have now come to Ukraine and you know all about it.

“You are calling them, asking about how they are doing on their ‘mission’.

“Ukraine is a free state that has chosen a Democratic European path and we will fight for our choice.

“It is not us who have come to your land. It is you who kill our children and bomb our cities and homes to the ground.

“You are silent and heed the propaganda of a mad dictator. The entire civilised world stands today at the side of brave Ukrainians.”

It comes as Russia is feared to be planning another major assault on Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

Satellite images show Russian tanks and other vehicles heading towards Kyiv, while other aerial footage appears to reveal military equipment being stationed outside the capital.

Klitschko added: “No matter how hard you try to destroy Ukraine and Ukranians now, any further attempts will destroy your country as well.

“If you don’t want to end up in complete isolation – don't shake with fear or indifference.

“Be brave like Ukrainains and save your country.”
