8 JULY 2024
The 8 July attack is not the first time Russia strikes medical facilities in Ukraine, and the attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital stresses the necessity to investigate these actions.

Details: The White House has condemned the latest Russian attack on Ukraine, specifically on the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital.
Quote: “Today’s horrible attack on Ukraine, specifically on a children’s hospital, proves a terrible price of Russian aggression which Russian leader Vladimir Putin is willing to pay in his war.”
“This is sadly not the first time that the Russians attacked a maternity hospital, as well as a children’s hospital during the war,” Carpenter added.
He stated that the US would continue making efforts to support Ukraine’s capability to resist against the Russian invasion.
Carpenter also expects that steps towards strengthening the Ukrainian air defence, which will help prevent such attacks as on 8 July, will be announced this week at the NATO summit.
“If Putin thinks he can outlast the West, he is wrong,” Carpenter stressed.
Background:
- The White House condemned the latest Russian large-scale missile attack on Ukraine, specifically on the Okhmatdyt hospital, and expressed hope that steps towards preventing such attacks would be announced at the NATO summit.
- Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, once again urged Ukraine’s allies to accelerate the supply of air defence systems to Kyiv following the Russian large-scale attack on Ukrainian cities.
- Earlier Jan Lipavský, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Czechia, criticised “useful idiots” who “are delusional” about peace with Russia amid the Russian attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital.
- Edgars Rinkēvičs, President of Latvia, urged other countries to allow Ukraine to strike military targets in Russia after the attack on Okhmatdyt.

So, assuming a miracle happens and this is declared a war crime, which it definitely is, what will happen next? A massive increase in arms shipments to Ukraine? Permission to strike the terrorist crime syndicate anywhere Ukraine wants? Closing the skies over Ukraine? REAL sanctions, including any third countries that allow circumvention of sanctions? Take ALL mafia banks off of SWIFT? Complete confiscation of ALL mafia assets and handing them over to Ukraine?
Anything concrete?
No, nothing will happen.
They will take the files, shove them into a drawer, and forget about the whole thing. In a few days, it’s already history. Various spineless leaders will wash their hands in innocence.
“Carpenter also expects that steps towards strengthening the Ukrainian air defence, which will help prevent such attacks as on 8 July, will be announced this week at the NATO summit.”
Now the US wants to help strengthen Ukrainian air defense? But it is still a big NO for US F16s, F16 pilot training, Patriot systems and striking Moskali air bases except in the Kharkiv sector………….
Where’s my gorilka?…
Washington still has no idea, no plan, and no foresight. It’s a blind fool sans a dog and cane.
Biden is also a war criminal for not letting Ukraine destroy the missiles before they are launched.
I fully agree.
