July 8... Kyiv... OKHMATDYT...

In the third year of the war, many have already become accustomed to the daily deaths, the destruction of homes, and the shattering of lives. But the tragedy that occurred today is simply staggering in its cruelty and cynicism. A rocket strike hit a children's hospital, targeting the ward where children with cancer are fighting for their lives. There are no words, not even tears... Children, their mothers and fathers, their loved ones, who have already endured immense suffering due to a terrible diagnosis... And now, where a glimmer of hope for healing shone for them, a missile arrives to snatch away that hope and even their very lives. A strike on a children's hospital... What could be more cruel and inhumane? Today, evil revealed its beastly grin to humanity.
Bloodied children... Cries and moans from under the rubble... Two thousand years ago, similar cries were heard in Bethlehem when King Herod's soldiers slaughtered infants. They killed because this feeble king desperately wanted to cling to power. For exactly the same reason, innocent children suffered in Kyiv today. Simply because someone in comfortable high offices needed to send a "signal" to their opponents. Someone needed to strengthen their negotiating position. Someone needed to stay in power. To prove to everyone that their country is great and mighty. In high offices, they send "signals" for which innocent children pay with their lives.
To what level of savagery have we descended?! Isn't it time to stop?! Isn't it time for everyone who can influence this to do everything to prevent such atrocities?! Think, all of you who fight for power, greatness, money, prestige, diplomatic positions, and more for yourself or your country. Those who call to fight for the Russian or any other world. Is all of this worth the lives of the children you have destroyed?!
