The new British prime minister has described an attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv on Monday as "shocking and appalling". Two people died when the hospital was hit during a wave of Russian missile strikes across Ukraine.

“It’s the duty of everyone to describe it in those terms”, Keir Starmer says.

Asked by reporters on the way to Nato what his message for President Vladimir Putin would be, Starmer says this summit "should be seen as a clear and united resolve by Nato allies... to stand with Ukraine and stand up to Russian aggression".

The attack "strengthens the resolve and that is a very important if tragic backdrop to this summit", he adds.
