With this action, “the Kiev regime has once again demonstrated its inhuman Nazi essence,” Zakharova said, quoted in the Russian diplomatic agency’s statement.

The spokeswoman also denounced constant attacks against Russian regions, ruthless and blind murders of civilians, journalists, doctors and representatives of other civil professions and urged responsible foreign governments and specialized international organizations to condemn this act of violence committed by Kyiv.

Later, Zakharova assured that all those involved in the attack will be punished according to the law.

Kherson Governor Vladimir Saldo said the Ukrainian drone hit the hospital building in Aleshki and that the head doctor received serious shrapnel injuries.

Since February 24, 2022, Russia has been carrying out a special military operation in Ukraine, the objectives of which, according to President Vladimir Putin, are to protect the population from genocide by the Kyiv regime and to address the national security risks posed by NATO’s advance to the east.

Ukrainian troops are supported militarily by this 32-country military alliance led by the United States.

In mid-June, Putin formulated several key conditions for starting peace negotiations, in particular that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the four new Russian territories (Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye).

Moscow also demands that kyiv give up joining NATO, maintain neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status; and that all sanctions against Russia be lifted, according to a report from the Sputnik news agency.
