Children's hell

Russia began the chairmanship in the UN Security Council with a missile strike at the Okhmatdet hospital at the moment when surgery was taking place: surgical, not military

Two anxiety at night, the third in the morning, seven with a penny - the mode of life of the “rear” Kyiv. We slept, did not sleep, but we have to get up and do business: Monday.

About ten I went to the Silpo supermarket near the house, and stood at the box office when the siren howled. The dull sound of the explosion was so contrasting with the summer heat, which had already gained strength that the cashier had hopefully asked the partner: “Is this, the doors slammed?” I must admit: the Kiev residents react selectively to the air anxiety signal. The confidence that the “Patriots” will cover everyone from trouble. At the exit from the store were onlookers. They examined how in a cloudless sky, just over our heads, draws the white furrow “Dagger”, and towards him, leaving the same furrow, another rocket rushes ...

In the underground crossing, however, there was no longer anywhere to fall. Several young mothers with strollers and small dogs nervously gained numbers of relatives to reassure: "We hid, do not worry!"

But the connection, as it happens at such moments, fell from overstrain. It gasped loudly, the other somewhere nearby. In the third year of the war, the “exits” of the air defense and the arrivals by ear are distinguished well. Those who were in the transition closer to the steps rushed to the middle. The children cried, the dogs got stuck, several people crouched, plugging their ears and open their mouths. Mostly residents of the microdistrict go to this “Silpo”, because the level of stress went off scale: God forbid, in a high -rise building ...

I earned a connection. What news was brought by was worse than a bad sleep.

Indeed, on the neighboring Syrez, getting into a residential building - a whole entrance is destroyed, under the rubble people. The house is also damaged opposite. Again, as in the spring of 2022, a blow was struck by the administrative building of the Artyom enterprise, which is near the Lukyanovskaya metro station. The five -story building is burning with Artyom. The wreckage of missiles fell in Solomensky, Goloseevsky and Darnitsky districts, there are also fires. Many victims and injured. In Kyiv, at least ten dead (two died in the hospital: injuries were incompatible with life). In addition to the capital, the Dnieper is attacked, the crooked horn, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk. As the President of Zelensky said , the Russians used more than forty missiles of different types.

But the worst thing is that the Huns “Okhmatdet” (“Protection of motherhood and childhood”), a modern medical institution is attacked. The blow fell on the two -story building in the central part of the hospital, there the small patients did dialysis. In the oncological and resuscitation departments, a shock wave made troubles: windows, doors are carried out, everything is strewn with glass. The scheme where one of the rescuers does not hold back the mat: cribs strewn with fragments, drops of blood on the floor tiles. "Here, bl .., small children lay!"

Operating: two operations took place in the morning. There are wounded doctors and children who are now urgently evacuated to the communal medical institutions of Kyiv. A string of ambulance cars rushes with the sirens along the Beresteisky Prospekt, it was given to them the Green Corridor.

According to operational information, patients and staff can be under the rubble. According to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Klimenko, two people were killed in Okhmatdet, sixteen were injured, half of them are seriously ill children. “Among the dead is a female doctor,” said the mayor of Klitschko.

“There are no victims among minors, fortunately, at the moment,” the minister said. - We disassemble the rubble to give people air ",

He says, noticing that the reserve is an hour and a half.

The rescuers were joined by passers -by. Having overcome the shock, at least a hundred people who were nearby rushed to the rescue. The cork from the cars was formed at the entrance: the townspeople carry mineral water, food, raspberries, cherries ... Okhmatdet can be called a cult children's hospital, the last hope for many, hence the attitude of the townspeople. "Take water!" - I get a message from my friend behind the wheel. At 13:00, an alarm is sounded: the threat of ballistics! Everyone runs to the underpass. Precious minutes expire. The alarm is short, the hut sounds: the rocket is knocked down on the approach. Work does not have time to resume, as Siren howls again. The familiar practice of the Russian army: to wait until at the place where the blow has already been struck, there will be more people, and to continue what has begun.

Bogdan Kutepov’s severity of those who was treated, the pictures of the Ukrainian Pravda reporter, who was one of the first to have been to the place of the tragedy to document the next crime of the Russian military. Children after chemotherapy, hairless, in masks, in the arms of mothers sit right on the street, in the shade, against the wall of the building. Droppers are also made here ...

I would like these photos to see today in the UN Security Council.
