Rocket attack on Kyiv on July 8

As UNIAN reported, on July 8, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that various cities were under attack – Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slov’yansk, Kramatorsk.

One of the rockets hit the “Okhmatdit” children’s hospital , where small children were being treated at that moment. “Radio Liberty” reported with reference to a source in the law enforcement agencies that the Russian missile was programmed to attack a children’s hospital .

The European Union believes that Russia’s missile attack on the largest children’s hospital in Ukraine “Okhmatdyt” can be investigated as a war crime.

As noted by the Institute for the Study of War, the Russians are trying to justify the missile attack on the “Okhmatdyt” hospital in Kyiv and even launched a large-scale information operation for this purpose. But analysts are convinced that the enemy will not be able to avoid responsibility for the war crime.
