Hit on “Okhmatdyt” – the latest news

As UNIAN previously reported, on July 10, a boy who was in intensive care  died as a result of a Russian attack on “Okhmatdyt”.

“Unfortunately, we have the first child victim among the patients who were in Okhmatdyt NDSL during the terrorist attack on July 8. A little boy who was in critical condition in Okhmatdyt’s intensive care unit at the time of the rocket attack died,” – said the head of the Ministry of Health, Viktor Lyashko. 

According to all data and evidence,  Putin denies that Russia was involved in the attack on the children’s hospital. For example, Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov said that Russia allegedly does not attack civilian objects in Ukraine, but only “hits military infrastructure.”  

At the same time, the Financial Times noted that the Russian Kh-101 missile, which was used to hit Okhmatdyt, contains Western components . This shows that the Kremlin is successfully circumventing Western sanctions.
