Children from Moldova were in Okhmatdyt during Russian missile attack, - Deputy Prime Minister Gherasimov
During the Russian shelling of Kyiv's Okhmatdyt hospital, there were children from Moldova, among others.
This was reported on Facebook by Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister Cristina Gherasimov, who arrived in Kyiv on July 15, Censor.NET reports.
During her visit to the Ukrainian capital, the official visited the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, Okhmatdyt, which was damaged by a Russian missile strike on July 8.
Gherasimov recalled that a Russian missile completely destroyed the intensive care unit, with 24 units damaged in total.
"At that moment, there were more than 600 patients in the hospital - children suffering from incurable diseases. Including children from Moldova, one of whom was on the operating table at the time of the bombing. Fortunately, he survived and is still under medical supervision," said the Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova.
She called Russia's shelling of the Okhmatdyt hospital "a terrible example of the cynicism of those for whom nothing is sacred anymore, not even the lives of innocent children."
