text:  At the meeting, which was requested by the US, Britain, France, Ecuador, and Slovenia, the Security Council is expected to be briefed by a senior UN official on the humanitarian impact of the recent Russian missile attacks on civilians in Ukraine. Then, Council members are expected to present their views on the attacks, as is Ukraine. More than half a dozen countries are likely to condemn the strikes, particularly the strike affecting the Children's Hospital in Kyiv. Some might call for an independent investigation.
