The Russian Foreign Ministry called the shelling of hospitals by the Armed Forces of Ukraine a war crime

“Deliberate shelling of existing civilian medical facilities and the targeted killing of civilians are grave war crimes of the Kyiv regime and its Western masters,” the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the death of 14 people when the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the hospital in Novoaidar.

Also, the acting head of the Luhansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, said that the West's approval of the UAF strike on the hospital in Novoaydar would have a serious impact on the world.

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to initiate a criminal case after the shelling of the hospital by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
