During the full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine, the invaders destroyed 9 and damaged 135 hospitals

This was announced by Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko on Facebook.

According to him, the Russian military shelled 135 hospitals and destroyed 9 of them.

"135 hospitals were shelled, 9 hospitals were destroyed to the ground, and it is already impossible to restore them. New hospitals need to be built in their place. 43 ambulances were shelled, 6 medical workers were killed, 16 were seriously injured", Lyashko wrote.

He added that on March 20, an emergency medical team escorting a humanitarian convoy was taken hostage by the invaders.

"This has probably never happened anywhere in the world. Only Russian terrorists do this on the territory of our country. Fortunately, the brigade is alive and today it has already been returned", Lyashko said.
