Ukrainian doctors unable to save 16 children suffered from Russian aggression
"For the fourth day already, most people do not leave hospitals, operating rooms, operating on the wounded around the clock, we save lives. We also operate on children. Unfortunately, we were unable to save 16 children. These are the results of what the Russian army, which cannot be called an army, has been doing. Because doctors, children, schools, kindergartens are shot only by terrorists, not the army. I once again declare that this is not an army, these are terrorists," Minister of Health of Ukraine Viktor Liashko said during livestream.
The minister addressed healthcare workers and employees of health care institutions.
"Great respect for your work, for your courage, for your spirit," Liashko said.
As reported, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine urges doctors from other countries to join in providing medical care to citizens and soldiers wounded during the Russian aggression.
