The russian terrorists attacked Ukrainian children | Ukraine Update: Day 867
Video Summary
On day 867 of the ongoing unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine, a devastating attack has struck the largest pediatric medical establishment in Kyiv, O Maidan, killing 27 civilians, including four children. Over 100 people were reported wounded. The Russian military’s deliberate targeting of the facility is a stark reminder of the atrocities committed by the Russian military. The clinic, known as O Maidan, which translates to “protection of maternity and childhood,” was not just a medical facility, but a symbol of the values of Ukraine’s society.
As someone who has previously visited the clinic, I have witnessed firsthand the selfless work of the medical staff and the impact of the blood donation program run by my unit. The footage of the Russian missile strike on the clinic is painful to watch. The Russian government’s attempt to justify the attack by claiming it was a mistake or that the clinic was hosting military personnel is a clear attempt to mislead the international community. The fact is, Russia has launched a campaign of terror against Ukraine, and its actions have caused immeasurable harm to innocent civilians.
As a former press officer, I have seen the devastating effects of war, but this attack on the pediatric medical establishment is especially heartbreaking. Ukraine is mourning the loss of life, and the world is condemning Russia’s actions. In the face of such brutality, it is essential to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and demand that Russia stop its senseless violence.
