SIMFEROPOL, October 18 State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet called the attack by Ukrainian troops on a hospital in the city of Aleshki in the Kherson region terrorism and blasphemy.
As the head of the regional government, Andrei Alekseenko, reported earlier on Wednesday, Ukrainian troops launched a missile attack at night on the central regional hospital in Aleshki, as a result of which all medical transport was destroyed, and an outpatient clinic in the village of Novaya Mayachka was also attacked.
«The attack on the hospital in Aleshki is terrorism and blasphemy. American methods of war are evident here, which are accompanied by attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, be it either a hospital in the Kherson region or in the Gaza Strip,” Sheremet said.
According to him, US accomplices in Ukraine and the Middle East will suffer a well-deserved punishment for their “bloody crimes” and will answer in full at an international tribunal.
Al-Ahly Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip was hit on Tuesday. Gaza's health ministry said more than 500 people were killed, most of them women and children. Palestinians and Israelis blamed each other for the attack, with the Palestinian Foreign Ministry saying the attack was carried out by Israeli planes and the Israeli army saying the hospital was hit by a rocket launched unsuccessfully by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called the attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip a war crime. He placed the final responsibility for it on the United States, which “cynically makes money from wars in different countries and on different continents” and “thoughtlessly distributes colossal money for weapons, loading up its military-industrial complex.”
