Ukraine mega thread

A Russian artillery assault devastated a maternity and children's hospital complex in the besieged southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.

The Mariupol City Council posted video on social media of the battered buildings.

"The destruction is enormous," the council said in a statement. "The building of the medical institution where the children were treated recently was completely destroyed. Information about the affected children is being clarified."

President Volodymyr Zelensky said people were still trapped in the wreckage. He urged the West to ban Russia from the skies over Ukraine.

"Atrocity! How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror?" Zelenskyy said in a Twitter post. "Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity."

The U.S. and its allies have declined to do so because it could further drag the alliance into the war. The West has hit Russia with heavy economic sanctions, and on Wednesday the Kremlin threatened retaliation for the "economic war" it accused the U.S. of waging.

A plan for Poland to provide fighter jets to Ukraine was also in doubt after the Polish government said it would give all of its Soviet-built MiG-29 fighter jets to the U.S. –apparently to allow them to be used by Ukraine’s military. The Pentagon dismissed the idea as not "tenable.”

“Poland is not a side in this war ... and NATO is not a side in this war,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki Morawiecki said Wednesday during a visit to Vienna. “Such a serious decision like handing over planes must be unanimous and unequivocally taken by all of the North Atlantic alliance."
