The Children’s Hospital in Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine bombed by Russian forces, the Ukrainian State Emergency Service said on Tuesday.
“The roof of the children’s hospital in Severodonetsk caught fire after it was bombed by Russian forces. “Seven children and 15 adults were removed from the hospital.”
“My people have turned into an army, they have seen the destruction and the bloodshed shed by the enemy,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier in an online session of the Italian Parliament.
“I said a week ago that 79 children had been killed. It is now 117, and it is not the final account. Tens of thousands of families were destroyed, as were millions of homes. “My people bury their dead in parks, in mass graves,” Zelensky added.
He also stressed that Mariupol, which was completely destroyed, had a population of 500,000, like the Italian city of Genoa. “We need peace, but we only see and hear sirens, bombs and rockets,” Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian army launches counterattacks made it possible, especially in the south, to retake territories occupied by Russian military forces that are having difficulty communicating, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.
The Ukrainian military “is now, in some cases, under attack,” John Kirby told CNN, noting that he was “pursuing Russian soldiers and pushing them away from areas where the Russians used to be.”
Major cities in Ukraine, however, they face Russian bombing that has killed hundreds of civilians.
The only manufacturer of tanks in Russia, the Uralvagonzavod that manufactures T-90 tanks, stopped production according to the NEXTA agency, while the same happened at its tractor factory Chelyabinsk which makes armored vehicles. The main reason for this is the lack of components after the sanctions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
