Quote: “It’s not a miracle; it’s the correct actions of the Okhmatdyt staff – they followed the algorithm clearly and hid everyone in the shelter. That’s why the death toll is low. If they had not followed all the algorithms, no miracle would have helped.’
Details: Danyk says that there is already a good trend of Ukrainians taking a more responsible approach to their own safety.
“Now there are no tragic events with dozens of deaths because people are paying more attention to security; there is an understanding that it is really important, not just words,” the head of the SES concluded.
Background:
- The Russians launched a strike on the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialised Hospital in Kyiv on 8 July. One of the buildings was destroyed. The Kyiv authorities reported that two adults had been killed and 32 injured. Later, another child died in hospital.
- The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has defined Russia’s attack on the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialised Hospital in Kyiv as a war crime and initiated criminal proceedings into the matter. Early reports from SSU investigators indicate the Russians used a Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile to attack the medical facility.
