La Russia ha danneggiato, distrutto oltre 2.300 strutture per infrastrutture mediche dall’inizio dell’invasione su vasta scala, afferma il ministero della salute

From the article: Russian forces have damaged or destroyed more than 2,300 medical infrastructure facilities since the start of the full-scale invasion, the Health Ministry said on May 7.

Russia deliberately targets critical infrastructure on a regular basis in Ukraine, including medical facilities, resulting in severe destruction and numerous civilian casualties.

Some 2020 medical facilities were partially damaged, while another 305 were completely destroyed, the ministry’s statement read.

Medical facilities in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts were most affected.

Throughout the all-out war, one of the most destructive Russian attacks on medical facilities in terms of casualties was on the Ohkmadyt children’s hospital in Kyiv.

Russian forces hit Ukraine’s largest children’s medical center on July 8, killing two adults and injuring at least 34 people, including nine children. Footage showed that the building suffered a direct hit by a Russian missile rather than being damaged by fallen debris.
