However, the MP alleges that the attacks were not incidental and that Ukrainian healthcare facilities have been targets for Russia’s military throughout the conflict.
In a statement, he said: “The Russian military is conducting targeted fire on medical infrastructure. They no longer hope to seize our territories but want to destroy all medical facilities with missile strikes and bombing. Leaving our citizens without hospitals, without maternity hospitals, without medical care, and without doctors is part of the genocide of the Ukrainian people.”
