Doctors continue to fight for the child’s life.

A 13-year-old boy from the Kherson region came under fire from the Russian occupiers twice in a day, the second time while in intensive care. 

As Yaroslav Yanushevich, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, said, the child is now safe, and doctors continue to fight for the boy’s life.

For the first time, 13-year-old Yaroslav from Naddnipryansk, 15 kilometers from Kherson, came under fire a few hours before the New Year, when he was returning home with his sister. After that, the boy was taken to the hospital in serious condition, which was “covered” by the Russians in a few hours.

“On January 1, the first minutes of the New Year, the Russian army attacked the Kherson Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital. At that moment, 13-year-old Yaroslav was in the intensive care unit. In the ward where the child was lying in an extremely serious condition, the windows were broken,” the head said Kherson OVA.

The boy was evacuated to Mykolaiv, where doctors are currently fighting for his life. 

“Due to the bloody “Russian Peace”, a child who should have joyfully unwrapped gifts and made wishes on these holidays met the New Year on the operating table under enemy fire,” Yanushevich added.
