During the fighting in Ukraine since February 24, Russian troops have destroyed 570 healthcare facilities. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in a video address to the nation.

“101 hospitals were completely destroyed. What it is? It is nonsense. This is barbarism. This is the self-destruction of Russia itself as a state that at least someone in the world could look at as a cultural nation,” Zelensky said..

The head of state also recalled the strikes on educational institutions in the Chernihiv region.

“Tonight they attacked the Chernihiv region. And more in schools. Of course, the Russian state is in such a state that any education interferes with it. But what can be achieved by destroying Ukrainian schools? All Russian commanders who give such orders are simply sick and incurable. But all the hospitals that the occupiers destroyed, all the schools, all the universities that they bombed, all the houses, bridges, enterprises - we will restore everything, ”the President assured.
