FIRST pictures of the two child victims who died in evil Vladimir Putin's "genocidal" massacre have now been revealed.
Maksym Simaniuk, 10, and his sister Anastasia, nine, died alongside their mother Zoryana, 40, in one of the missile strikes that rocked the capital and killed at least 41 civilians.
Their tragic death came as one of the many Russian missiles hit their five-storey residential block in the city.
At least 12 people and four children - including Maksym and Anastasia - died in the devastating wave of attacks.
Distressing images show the debris of the apartment block where the bodies of the brother and sister, along with their mother, were discovered.
Immediately after the strike, children’s voices were among those screaming for help from beneath the rubble.
One local resident who recorded a video of the incident said: "Friends, this is a residential building. It's on fire and people are screaming [in horror].
"This is what Russians are doing, that's how they are fighting. That's how they are fighting us."
Maksym’s sports coach Volodymyr Boiev, of the Ukrainian Karate Federation, said: "Russian terrorists killed our little champion Maksym Symaniuk.
"Hate is not enough. Revenge will be eternal."
Daria Herasymchuk, an aide to Volodymyr Zelensky for children's rights and rehabilitation, said: "The children were pulled from the rubble.
"They were a 9-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and their mother.
"These children definitely did not expect that their lives would end like this."
The strike on the residential apartment came as a separate missile struck Kyiv’s children’s hospital in one of the most horrific attacks on civilians since the start of the war.
Horrific pictures showed children wounded in the attack, one-wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher as he sobbed.

A group of young cancer patients gathered with their parents and doctors, attached to drips as they watched on in horror.
Kids with cancer were forced to pause chemotherapy treatment as medics evacuated the hospital’s oncology ward.
Ukraine’s health minister said at least three sick children were mid-way through open-heart surgeries when the missiles struck.
Mother Marina Ploskonos said her 4-year-old son was recovering from spinal surgery when the missiles struck.
Bursting into tears, she said: "My child is terrified. This shouldn't be happening, it's a children's hospital."
Hate is not enough. Revenge will be eternal

One doctor even said he leapt onto his patients to protect them from flying glass and debris.
Others were seen helping fellow colleagues and fellow parties - despite being wounded themselves.
Among those killed in the Russian strike on the children's hospital was Svitlana Lukyanchik, 30, a paediatric kidney doctor.
She was an orphan from Lviv who became a leading doctor after graduating from Ukraine’s National Medical University.
One on-ground journalist said Lukyanchik wanted to "help the most defenceless kids."
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia hit five cities in a "genocidal" attack.
He demanded Moscow answer "for all its crimes" against people, children and humanity.
His chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, accused Russia of "deliberately targeting" children.
Ukrainian sources today said that 95 suspects had been identified over Monday’s attacks on Ukraine, especially on the children's cancer hospital.
Molfar, a Ukrainian open-source intelligence group, said it had found MiG pilots, as well as military personnel from Air Force Base 06987 at Engels Airfield, and Air Force Base 33310 from Shaykovka.
Journalist Andriy Tsaplienko said: "They are the ones involved in the attack on the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital and Ukrainian cities on July 8, 2024.
"Data, photos, contacts of 95 Russian pilots, commanders, engineers and their families who give orders and launch missiles at hospitals, residential buildings and children.
"And yes, the missile attack was targeted - the article contains a fact-check of the Russian attack by Molfar, which debunks Russian propaganda."
EVIL Vladimir Putin reportedly spent over $200 million on Monday's horrific Kyiv attack on a children's hospital that left at least 41 dead.
The tyrant unleashed a tirade of hypersonic missiles and six-ton warship killers in a precise assault targeting sick children with military experts now calling on Nato leaders to "act decisively to stop Russia".
They included a Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missile, four Iskander-M ballistic missiles, one 3M22 "Zirkon" cruise missile and three Kh-59/Kh-69 guided air missiles.
As well as a sickening outburst of 13 Kh-101 cruise missiles and 14 Kalibr cruise missiles.
A pair of giant 40ft Kh-22 cruise missiles were also launched - leaving buildings crumbling.
Ukraine’s air force said it downed 30 of 38 missiles launched.
Russia used "new and noteworthy tactics" to cause as much damage as they could, say the Institute for the Study of War.
Putin's military launched their cruise missiles at low altitudes to prevent being detected by air defence systems quickly enough to thwart an attack.
Former Ukrainian Air Forces spokesperson Colonel Yuriy Ihnat said many of the rockets were seen soaring at just 160ft above the ground.
The cost of the missiles is said to have cost between $160-$200 million, Forbes reports.
The shocking attack on Ukraine came as Nato leaders were set to jet off to Washington for the organisation's latest meeting.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was all but certain to be top of the already packed agenda but after the systematic barrage in Kyiv, it is expected to take up a huge amount of time.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Sun the summit is an opportunity for the West to hit back at Russia following Putin's hideous attack.
He said: "Nato needs to act decisively to stop Russian attacks on hospitals and civilians. Nato needs to flex its military muscle in Washington to stop Russia.
“It should be no great surprise that Russia bombed a children’s hospital and maternity clinic in Kyiv yesterday; it’s what they do.”
Hamish has called on the new UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to be strong and firm against his Russian foe at the meeting.
The PM will be in Washington for the crunch summit this evening just 24 hours after he slammed the attack as "the most depraved of actions".
Sir Keir has an opportunity to put a stop to these “Russian war crimes”, says Hamish.
Leaders from around the world are set to shore up their military alliance in the wake of the barbaric strikes as well as the other ongoing global conflicts.
