South Korean company’s employees raise money for Kyiv children’s hospital reconstruction

South Korea’s KIND company, involved in drawing up a transportation master plan for Kyiv region, handed over financial assistance to the Okhmatdyt children's hospital, recently hit by a Russian missile.

That's according to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Ukrinform reports.

Representatives from the South Korean corporation KIND, together with the deputy head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, Lesya Karnaukh, visited the "Okhmatdyt" hospital. They inspected the destruction caused by the Russian missile strike and handed over financial assistance to the hospital.

The administration says the company’s employees made the relevant donation in a volunteer effort.

"The initiative to support the hospital with their own funds arose from KIND employees in the first minutes after they saw photos of the aftermath of unjustified cruelty against Ukrainian children. And therefore, during a first visit after the attack, the head of the special unit, general manager of this Korean organization, Moo Hyuk Lee, handed over the funds for the Okhmatdyt reconstruction," the report says.

In turn, Volodymyr Zhovnir, Okhmatdyt CEO, gave the donors a gift from the clinic’s young patients – a children's drawing.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on July 8, Russia launched a barrage of missiles at Kyiv, Dnipro, Kramatorsk, Kryvyi Rih, and Sloviansk. In Ukraine’s capital, one of the missiles hit the building of the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital.
