During the telethon, Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said that during the 13 days of invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops destroyed 61 hospitals.
He noted that some of them were completely destroyed, and some had damaged windows and shelled floors. He paid special attention to the hospital in Izyum, which was completely destroyed.

“Such actions of the enemy violate all international conventions, including Geneva, which is prohibited from shelling health facilities during hostilities,” he said.
Lyashko also stressed that there are currently difficulties with the supply of medicines to the occupied territories. The reason for this is the categorical refusal of terrorists to open humanitarian corridors, as a result of which people with chronic diseases suffer greatly.
