Pravda Ukraine
Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko has posted a video of patients and staff being evacuated from medical facilities that are likely to be targeted by Russia.

Quote: “The enemy, judging by the video that got posted on the Internet, essentially announced a strike on these medical institutions, even giving their addresses. They [the Russians] claim that there are military personnel in the facilities. This is a provocation that the aggressor is trying to use to strike the social infrastructure of the capital.”
