The Ministry of Health of Ukraine calls on the World Health Organization (WHO) to stop cooperation with Russia. About this in a statement published on Facebook departments, said the relevant minister Victor Lyashko.
Russia launched terrorist actions on the territory of Ukraine against the civilian population and doctors, the appeal says. The Russian occupiers, violating the norms of international law, are shelling hospitals, emergency medical vehicles, orphanages and civilians.
“Daily, under shelling, doctors fight for the lives of their patients, including children. Every day they mentally beg that an enemy shell does not fly into the operating room,” the Ministry of Health reminds. “And every day … medical workers die.”
The execution of doctors is a crime against humanity, reminds Lyashko: “Therefore, the Ministry of Health calls on WHO to stop any cooperation and exchange of information with the Russian Federation.”
Ukraine also calls on other UN agencies involved in humanitarian affairs to move their regional offices from Moscow.
