The defense department added that the facts of the use of medical facilities for military purposes are ignored by the World Health Organization and the world community.

“Once again, we urge ... to influence official Kyiv and take effective measures to prevent the use of medical infrastructure by the armed formations of Ukraine for military purposes,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian nationalists are planning to launch rocket attacks from Krivoy Rog on a hospital in Vysokopolye, Kherson region.
