Ukrainian armed formations continue to use medical infrastruct | Russia in Canada

Ukrainian armed formations continue to use medical infrastructure facilities to equip strong points and deploy heavy weapons in them:

in Borovsky, Lugansk People's Republic, wounded militants of Ukrainian nationalist formations are housed in the polyclinic building on Krasnaya Street. Civilians, including seriously ill, were forced to leave the medical facility under threat of reprisals, and at all approaches to the polyclinic, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed checkpoints and equipped the firing points;

in Lisichansk of the Lugansk People's Republic, the buildings of the children's hospital on 40 Let Pobedy Street and the medical college on Chernovaya Street are equipped with a strongpoint of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and heavy weapons are placed on the adjacent territory.

These and other similar facts, gross violations of the norms of international humanitarian law, despite our repeated statements, have so far been ignored by the World Health Organization.

Once again, we call on all international organizations, and, first of all, the World Health Organization, to influence official Kiev and take effective measures aimed at preventing the use of medical infrastructure facilities by the Armed Forces for military purposes.
