The dreadful aftermath of a Russian attack on a medical facility in Ukraine has been revealed.

“My condolences to the family of the deceased.

“We must defeat these inhumans irrevocably and as soon as possible. Because our time is our people. And our people are the most precious thing in Ukraine.”
