The health facility described Leontieva as “a fantastic person and a dedicated and responsible doctor.
A real pro
who has always supported patients and colleagues. “Oksana Leontyeva is just the latest of hundreds of Ukrainian women, including military and civilians, killed since the conflict began.
The orphaned son
– Anton Gerashchenko, presidential adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stressed that the woman’s 5-year-old child is now “orphaned”. Oksana, she recalls on Twitter when she posted a photo of the doctor, actually lost her husband six months ago.
The Russians bomb Ukrainian hospitals
– In the last few days, the hospitals of another Ukrainian city, which has long been under attack from Moscow: Kharkiv, have also come under Russian fire. As the Major Archbishop of Kyiv, Svyatoslav Sevcuk, reported in a video message: “The enemy is trying to intimidate this city, already annexed in absentia by the Russian Federation, by threatening those who bravely defend it.” Kharkiv trembled at the hands of the Russians beatings and one of the city’s hospitals was destroyed. The city center is on fire”.
The first children’s hospital struck in Mariupol
– The attack on the children’s hospital in Kyiv is reminiscent of the attack on a facility in Mariupol in the early stages of the conflict. A “shocking” and “disgusting” event, the United Nations commented at the time. A “barbaric use of force against defenseless civilians,” the White House claimed. On March 22, 2022, a Russian bomb attack claimed 17 lives among hospital staff in the stricken port city in southern Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke of “war crimes” by inviting European citizens, Ukrainians and residents of Mariupol to join in condemning Russia “for all the harm” it is doing to Ukraine. “How could a children’s hospital and maternity ward pose a threat? What kind of country would Russia get to bomb them? Is that denazification?”
