A building in Pryluky, Ukraine was hit in the early hours of by a Russian missile.
The strike killed 22 people, including five children.
Ukraine’s desperate air defence deficit meant there was no shield to protect from what fell from the skies.
It was, according to the foreign secretary, clearly a war crime.
Civilians have always been victims in this war, but now they are very much targets.
A global shortage of Patriot air defence systems and interceptors to shoot down incoming jet-powered drones and missiles is leaving every major city exposed.
With the dust of rubble behind him, President Zelenskyy, alongside Miliband, told ITV News: “We have a big deficit in air defence. We are grateful for the support, but we need so much more air defences.
"We can’t wait, these attacks on civilians are the face of Putin. We can’t just wait for Ukrainian production to produce all the air defence that our big country needs.
"That’s why we are asking our allies for help. The UK can’t provide the very specific air defence we need, but they can support us financially and we can buy from USA and other countries.”
