Ukraine: Russian attacks damaged ambulance station and injured medical personnel in Kyiv

“In the dark, from basements and the bottom of stairwells, we heard the Russian jet drones passing overhead in central Kyiv, not knowing what they would target, but fully expecting that yet again civilians and civilian infrastructure would be hit - and they were”, says Robin Meldrum, Country Director for Doctors Without Borders in Ukraine.

“We start a new day yet again with shock and horror - the idea that ambulance and emergency-response teams have to dig people out from the remains of destroyed residential blocks – and save the lives of their own colleagues who have been targeted.”  

Doctors Without Borders once again emphasises that medical workers and healthcare facilities throughout Ukraine remain unprotected, working under constant threat and on the verge of resource depletion. We condemn the attacks by Russian forces, which endanger not only the civilian population but also their ability to receive medical care after being wounded.
