Russia appears to have shifted its stance over the bombing of a maternity hospital in the southern port city of Mariupol with a mix of statements veering between aggressive denials and a call to establish clear facts about the shelling.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said three people, including one child, were killed in the bombing on Wednesday.
