## Transcript

Was particularly shocked by yesterday's deadly missile strikes on Kiev, rev rear, Poksvosk, and Denipro, and other urban centers. These attacks struck key energy infrastructure, as well as two of the country's main specialist hospitals for children and women. Hospitals have special protection under international humanitarian law. Intentionally directing attacks against a protected hospital is a war crime, and perpetrators must be held to account. Mr. President, These incidents are part of a deeply concerning pattern of systemic attacks harming health care and other civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.

In Kiev, the intensive care, surgical and oncology wards of Ukraine's largest children's hospital Okmadi were severely damaged. Its toxicology department where children receive dialysis was completely destroyed. First responders attending the scene immediately after the attack found children receiving treatment for cancer in hospital beds set up in parks and on the street where medical workers had quickly established triage areas among the chaos, dust, and debris. The World Health Organization has now verified 1878 attacks affecting health care facilities, personnel, transport, supplies, and patients since February 2022.

It is deeply troubling that aid operations are also being impacted by these attacks. Just last week, a strike destroyed an apartment block immediately in front of the United Nations office in Denipro City, Ukraine's fourth largest city. Yesterday's attacks and their impacts are a reminder of the deplorable human toll of this war, particularly on the most vulnerable members of the society, tragedies, we will see again and again, as long as this conflict continues, and the rules of war are defied.
