- oneshtein 2y agoCan Ukraine strike Russian hospitals then? They have lot of military personnel, thousands of soldiers.
- protomolecule 2y agoYou are confusing a hospital misused as military base for healthy soldiers with a hospital treating wounded soldiers.
- oneshtein 2y agoNope.
- gambiting 2y agoI still vividly remember pictures of a strike on a kids hospital in the very first days of the war, where a 2 year old has been killed by a Russian missile. No one has been using that hospital as a military base at the time. Nothing justifies this. There is no logic that could be twisted here to somehow make it look like it was OK for Russians to fire at those targets. In fact it isn't "OK" for Russians to fire at any targets within Ukraine, no matter their setup or positioning - I don't think it can be any clearer than this.
- protomolecule 2y ago> a strike on a kids hospital in the very first days of the war, where a 2 year old has been killed by a Russian missile This doesn't add up. There cannot be only one death from a strike on hospital.
- ethbr1 2y agoThere were 2 killed [0] in the July strike on a different children's hospital, in Kyiv. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/08/world/video/ukraine-childrens-hospital-strike-digvid https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/08/world/video/ukraine-childrens... Not sure how much clearer than a video of a missile hitting a hospital this can be?

- protomolecule 2y agoWhich doesn't add up either. It's Ukraine's largest children hospital. Meanwhile there is a sprawling military plant Artem nearby, which has been a target of multiple Russian missile strikes. The Russian MoD said the hospital was hit by a malfunctioning Ukrainian anti-missile, but if you don't believe that, what do you think is more likely: that the military plant was the target and a Russian missile missed it, hitting a corner of the hospital building instead, or that the hospital was the target, but the missile failed in its attempt to kill scores of children being treated for cancer, which would be one of the most heinous war crimes imaginable?
- gambiting 2y agoI literally don't understand what point you're trying to make - even if Russia only accidentally hit a children's hospital.......they are still the ones firing the missiles. They are still killing children. They are still kidnapping and moving them to Russia. They are still killing their parents in a war that they started. The "legality" of their strikes on civilian infrastructure is an idiotic thing to discuss when they shouldn't be doing any strikes in the first place.
- lnsru 2y agoThis organization has no creditability at all. It lost it complaining about countries defending their borders from immigrants and recent antisemitism campaigns. Sorry. It’s now another anti western propaganda machine comparable to Russia Today. Long way traveled for once Nobel prize winning organization.
