Russian military has bombed the largest children's hospital in Ukraine

Okhmatdyt (Охматдит in Ukrainian is short for охорона материнства й дитинства = protection of motherhood and childhood) is known to most Ukrainians, even those who have never has children or have never been to Kyiv, as the main children treatment facility in the country.

In the morning of July the 8th, about 60% of the facility have been destroyed by a Russian missile Х-101.

As of now, it is known of at least two dead adults (one of them was a nephrologist at the hospital) and several injured children, and there still are people under the rubble (yes, including children). Lots of medical equipment has been destroyed, much of it cannot be found anywhere else in Ukraine.

The toxicology department is the most damaged one, which is also the location where children have been undergoing hemodialysis at the time of the strike. Many of the patients did not have the option of being transported to the bomb shelter promptly after the air raid alert, as they require intensive care treatment (such as kids on life support, lung ventilation, in sterile boxes etc.)

Patients are being evacuated to other hospitals around the country, rescue operation at the strike sight still underway.

In case any one of you is willing to help, I'm sharing a link to the Okhmatdyt charity fund (the page is in Ukrainian, but there are instructions for foreigners as well — please scroll until you see info in English).

I just have to add that it was a direct and deliberate strike — two other hospitals have been under attack that day as well (one in Kyiv too, and one in Dnipro).

May the good people of the world live in safety without fearing for the lives of their children, and may those who bomb children's hospitals answer for their crimes

My country is under fucking attack again: russians dropped bombs, launched lots of (iranian) shahed UAVs, north korean ballistic kn-23, lots of cruise missiles from the black sea, lots of missiles from russia (kh-101) and are about to launch hypersonic missiles kinzhal (that only can be intercepter by the newest air defense systems! which Ukraine almost doesn't have).

All of that on a cold fucking sunday morning when people are at home...for maximum casualties.

UPD1. 30 minutes later

Imagine waking up in the morning and the first thing you know is that russia committed another war crime/ecocide/crime against humanity. The reservoir cools down Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and gives water to the North Crimean Canal (hew, remember how russian claimed that they attacked Ukraine because they needed water to the occupied Crimea?). Hundred of villages and towns will be drowned just in a few hours. Thousands of people will lose their homes. 

I can’t even start to describe how vile it is, how angry and heartbroken I am right now. 

russia delenda est

It's things like this that make me still have hope for humanity after all.

Dear Slovaks, please know that we see your effort and we're incredibly grateful ❤️

You know, there's a lot of countries that joined this amazing Czech initiative and I'm grateful to each and every single one of them and to Czechia for organising this. But there's something to be said about people who's government refused to join in and who said "You know what? We'll fucking do it ourselves. Remember who the real power is." I just love this so much and tearing up a little from this.

please take a look at these photos. these are Ukrainian soldiers, people who went to defend their own country, their own territory and their own home. they were captured by the russians, where they were/are still being tortured for protecting their home. some of them were imprisoned for tens of years. some of them are tortured to death.

and here are photos of the russians and russian mercenaries, murderers and rapists who invaded the territory of Ukraine and began to destroy all living things until they were captured by Ukrainians.

just look at them, their healthy appearance, no scars, no pale, sickly faces, starved bodies with sagging bellies and bulging ribs. Ukrainians treat war criminals according to international requirements, but for some reason the world allows the russians to violate these requirements with impunity.

please support Ukraine and show the rest of the world that good must prevail, Ukraine must win and russia & the russians must be justly punished.

The family of the 14-year-old girl who died in a russian airstrike in Kharkiv had just begun to recover from another loss — the girl's father had previously gone missing in the Donetsk area, her relative Olga told Ukrainian media 'Suspilne.'

In the picture is a photo of the deceased girl with her head torn apart by the explosion of a russian bomb. On the right are mocking comments from cheering russians.

At the time of the attack, the schoolgirl was sitting on a bench near a children playground.

i just wanna say that being a Ukrainian is difficult asf. russia is literally committing genocide on us, kills our best people, strikes hospitals and houses, tortures civilians, murders children, all while still sitting un the UNSC and having a shit ton of influence over the West through propaganda. “white people” will never treat us as equal: they probably never even heard of us in the first place and thought we were a part of russia. they ask us if we have Internet or malls in Ukraine like it’s a cavemen county and not one in the centre of Europe. people of color think that we get some sort of “special treatment” in our literal struggle to survive, because they didn’t receive it (i can’t blame them, really, but sometimes they go too far in their bitterness). our allies do help us, but they didn’t want to give us any sort of serious ammunition/weapons/warplanes because they were afraid of escalation, not to mention that they were ready to let us be devoured by russian terrorists in the beginning of the full-scale invasion. the UN congratulated the world with fucking russian language day on the day those bastards blew up the Kakhovka dam, killing hundreds, not evacuating civilians in occupied regions, because that was the point. killing. as a Ukrainian poet and politician Volodymyr Vynnychenko once said, and i hate that those words are true, “being a Ukrainian is being in a constant state of proving your right of existence.”

On December 30, russia launched at least 6 strikes on Kharkiv. Buildings in the central part of the city are seriously damaged, a fire broke out on the spot.

Currently, at least 16 people are reported injured. This is happening the next day after a massive russian missile barrage in Ukraine.

This is a daily reminder that russia continues to target peaceful Ukrainian cities, trying to destroy them day by day. From the very start of the full-scale invasion Kharkiv continues to suffer from russian strikes, which are directed at residential buildings or historically important places.

UPD: Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reports about 21 injured due to the russian strikes.

For those looking to donate to help Ukraine, here is a list of highly recommended Charities/Organizations:

I also recommend Save Ukraine. They work to rescue Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped and deported to Russia since the start of the war. This video, Stealing Ukraine's Children: Inside Russia's Camps, gives more insight into that particular situation:

On a final note, U.S. Congress needs to pass the $60 billion in aid to Ukraine. Shame on Republicans for holding this up! That is unacceptable and reprehensible on so many levels.

Fucking hell

Russians blew up the Kakhovka Dam and basically destroyed the entire hydroelectric power plant.

Some regions in southern Ukraine are being flooded right now, others are going to lose access to fresh water. Even after the war ends, it will take years to rebuild the destroyed structures, and it will take decades (and enormous amount of resources) to reverse the ecological damage. Some things are going to be irreversible.

This will change the face of Ukrainian south for decades to come.

I want those responsible for this ecocide to eat glass, shit glass, sweat glass

Officials said russians launched 127 missiles (different types) and 109 shahed UAVs at us today. That's the biggest attack so far. I'm afraid there can and will be more :/

There are indeed casualties (7 dead, 50 wounded as of now) and damage is done to our infrastructure and power facilities, but our air defense shot down most of the targets and thus saved thousand of lives.

I'm okay and i'm thankful to everyone who wrote the words of support. Means a lot to me!

Please keep Ukraine in your thoughts, the war is unfortunately is far from being over and fighting it is easier when you know the world still cares!

P.S. i'll continue shitghosting because it keeps me distracted. I'll just need some time to...calm down a little bit.

Yesterday, after two years in russian captivity, my sister-in-law's friend returned home.

His relatives didn't recognize him. Shaved head, morbidly thin, quiet, and with an empty stare - he looked nothing like himself. His mother, though, who kept fighting for her son and for his brothers-in-arms, who organized rallies to remind everyone about the prisoners of war and conditions in the russian prisons - she recognized him. I saw the video of their first meeting, how she hugged him and told him everything would be fine now.

The worst part? He didn't recognize her.

My hometown was occupied by russians for 8.5 months. Then they shelled it every day for 7 more months. Today they flooded it. Whole houses are floating in the river, the others are uninhebitable. They left the animals to drown in cages and on the streets. Fucking terrorists.

[anastasiareyreed]

russia be like: we did it → Ukraine did it → it happened by itself.

and the world swallows it.

every time someone, sitting thousands of km from Ukraine, in safety and comfort, starts spreading theories in which "not everything is so clear-cut" and "it is not known who is guilty and who is lying", I lose faith in humanity.

nine years ago, russia said that it was not russian troops that invaded Ukraine. today the whole world knows that it was the russians, and the russians do not even deny it anymore.

last year, russia said that it would not launch a full-scale invasion, but we can all see that russia lied. again.

russia justified the invasion by "denazification of Ukrainians", although it is the russians who are known for the phrase "we can repeat" addressing to the Germans in relation to World War II. it is the russians who created the cult of the leader, spread their Z V swastika all over the world and promote the greatness of war.

russia justified the invasion as a "preemptive strike" so that Ukraine would not join NATO and NATO would not attack russia. although there were already NATO member countries on the border with russia. another cheap lie.

russia justified the invasion by the fact that in Ukraine "the russian-speaking population is oppressed". although even our president spoke russian before the invasion.

meanwhile, russian state channels simply say that Ukrainians annoy them, so Ukrainians must be destroyed.

russia said that it would not shell civilians, but russia began the invasion by shelling houses in the middle of the night and dropping bombs on sleeping civilians. on all of us.

russia said that its targets are only military facilities, but russia destroys entire cities and villages along with the population, killing Ukrainians every day.

since the beginning of the war, only Ukrainians have suffered. russians forcibly take Ukrainian children to the territory of russia, where the children are subjected to physical and psychological violence. with hard efforts, Ukraine managed to return a few, but currently about 30,000 Ukrainian children (only those who could be counted) are still in russia.

first the russians drowned the Ukrainians, and then they began a massive shelling of the flooded cities in order to kill those who survived and those who came to the rescue.

this is a full-scale invasion of russia on the territory of Ukraine. Ukrainians are dying. Ukraine's ecology is suffering. the russians openly declare that all of Ukraine must be destroyed. they talk about it every day on state channels, their politicians call for the extermination of Ukrainians.

russians set up torture chambers for Ukrainians, execute Ukrainians, cut off the heads, hands and legs of our people, rape children, film all of this and show off. the whole Tumblr would not be enough to list all the tragedies that russia has caused and for which we cry every day, commemorate the victims every day, mourn every day.

now the russians blew up the dam and flooded dozens of Ukrainian towns and villages. these are terrible consequences for Ukraine first of all. then for the world and environment. but not for russia.

and while the Ukrainians were left alone with another russian war crime, with a crime against humanity, against the environment, russia simply says "it's not us" and people still believe it, and russia gets away with a tragic crime again.

please be sensible, russia has been at war with all its neighbors, russia is still at war in Syria, russia has been shelling Syrians even when there was an earthquake! now that russia caused the flood in Ukraine, russians are shelling Ukrainians, trying to finish off the wounded and those who did not manage to evacuate.

russia is evil and russia always lies. these are long proven facts, and if you have never delved into the topic of russian wars before, listen to the victims, listen to those whose lives russia is trying to take away.

everything is very simple right now — take the side of Ukraine. of Syria. support good.

TW : blood

A Ukrainian woman and local volunteers were selling goods to help Ukraine and a man approached them and started telling them how well russia is killing Ukrainians. When the woman started filming, he said he was German. Then they started attacking Ukrainians and a Czech who was also volunteering there.

russians pose a danger to Ukrainians literally all over the world
