Russia is a terrorist state that must answer for crimes against Ukrainian children!
About "Okhmatdyt" - the largest children's hospital in Europe, which was attacked by Russia
In 1894, Kiev philanthropist Nikola Tereshchenko built a large building, which became the first city hospital for poor people.
The hospital was named after Tsarevich Nicholas, and by 1903 a surgical building with 25 beds was opened there. In 1898, stone barracks were opened here for infectious patients and a wooden barracks for people with chronic diseases.
The fate of "Okhmatdyt" in the USSR
In 1927, the Bolsheviks repurposed the hospital, connecting infant homes, dairy kitchens, a consultation and a children's hospital. On this basis, the Okhmatdyt Institute of Childhood and Motherhood was opened with a clinic and surgery.
"Okhmatdyt" during the Second World War and after
From the first day of the German attack and hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, Okhmatdyt began to host wounded soldiers, refugees and civilians. A bomb shelter was built in the basement of the building.
In 1943, the structure of the hospital included obstetric, gynecological, children's, therapeutic, otolaryngological, surgical, intramural, venereological, infectious diseases departments, as well as departments for chronic patients.
"Okhmatdyt" in independent Ukraine
In July 1996, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine merged the Ukrainian Consultative Center for Mother and Child together with the scientific and medical association "Okhmatdyt". Thus, the hospital once again secured its status as the largest children's hospital in Ukraine.
In 1997, a bone marrow transplant unit was created here. In the same year, the first stem cell transplants in Ukraine were carried out at the hospital for children with leukemia. In 1998, the Center for Pediatric Oncohematology and Bone Marrow Transplantation began operating within the structure of Okhmatdyt - the number of children’s lives saved here is growing significantly.
In the early 2000s, the hospital underwent a large-scale renovation: buildings were closed for repairs and equipment was replaced.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Okhmatdyt has continued to give hope for recovery to thousands of children in Ukraine. The hospital had a surgery department, pediatric gynecology, a medical genetic center, a Republican Center for Pediatric Hematology, and neonatology, where very premature babies weighing from 500 to 1500 grams were cared for.
The missile that the Russians used to attack Okhmatdyt contained Western components - FT
The enemy hit the Okhmatdyt children's hospital with an X-101 cruise missile, one of the most modern in the Russian Federation. Russia now produces almost eight times more Kh-101s than before the full-scale invasion and is still dependent on Western parts, the Financial Times reports.
Sanctions cut Russia off from advanced technologies, but the Kremlin began using components not intended for military use.
Thus, two components in the Russian X-101 were labeled as manufactured by the Swiss company STMicroelectronics, and the rest were labeled as manufactured by American chip manufacturers, including Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and Intel.
“The price of the rocket is not comparable...”: Kremlin mouthpieces continue to invent theories about who attacked Okhmatdyt
According to propagandists, for Russia, a strike on a children’s hospital makes no sense “neither from a military nor from a political point of view.” And in general, “the Russians are very pragmatic” and would not waste an expensive missile.
Russian cynicism knows no bounds.
“It’s very difficult to lose people, to lose children. At such moments you want to kill Putin” - Zelensky
The President of Ukraine called the attack on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital Putin's signal to the world that he will “act exactly this way.”
“Putin doesn’t think about what’s happening in Ukraine. The missile was not flying towards a military target, and there was nothing wrong with it. No, the rocket was flying straight at the hospital. And this is not the first time,” he said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Institute.
Z-propagandists believe that since not a single child died as a result of the barbaric attack on Okhmatdyt, then Zelensky had no right to motivate Putin’s murder by the death of children.
Russian pilot “turned in” his colleagues after the strike on the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital - media
A pilot of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, which bombards our cities with X-101 missiles, turned to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region after the attack on Okhmatdyt, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing a source.
It is reported that in a Ukrainian intelligence chatbot, a Russian serviceman wrote that he and his colleagues were shocked by the attack on a children's hospital and did not understand why they were being forced to attack the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. He also handed over private photos of commanders, documents on personal files of senior officers and personal data of military personnel.
After the shelling of Okhmatdyt, Russia hosted a reception with Kiev cutlets at the UN
The Russian Federation hosted a lunch on the occasion of its presidency of the UN Security Council immediately after a meeting where they discussed the Russian missile attack on a children's hospital.
“The moral degradation of Russian diplomacy is obvious,” Ukraine’s permanent representative to the UN Sergei Kislitsa said in a comment to Ukrinform.
The Financial Times is showing American chips used in the Russian Kh-101 missile, one of which struck the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv on Monday.
In total, the X-101 uses 16 electronic components: 14 of them are produced by American companies, another 2 are produced by Swiss ones. 7 of these components are produced in China, 3 in Malaysia, 2 in Taiwan. Imports are mainly carried out by China. This is all shown in the graph on the second screen.
Lithuania transferred 1 million euros to restore Okhmatdyt after the Russian strike - Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte
“The only way to stop a terrorist state is to increase support for the victory of Ukraine. The only fair way to support the restoration of Ukraine is to make the aggressor pay,” she emphasized in her message on the X/Twitter platform.
Bellingcat's investigation into the Russian X-101 that hit the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv is being blocked by Twitter, which flags the Bellingcat website as unsafe.
Well, I'll leave it here. Link to full investigation.

Below is a summary.
- Immediately after the strike, Russian channels, which had previously been repeatedly noted for disseminating disinformation, as well as the Russian Foreign Ministry, began to claim that it was an American AIM-120 anti-missile missile launched from the NASAMS air defense system.
- After analyzing videos from social networks, as well as building 3D models of both missiles (photo 1), Bellingcat came to the conclusion that it was a Russian X-101.
- The same conclusions were reached by Fabian Hoffmann (https://x.com/FRHoffmann1/status/1810350033616732653) from the University of Oslo and Dr. Geoffrey Lewis, an expert on missiles and nuclear weapons from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
- In the video from social networks, the rocket is very clearly visible: a turbojet engine at the back and two short wings in the middle. These are the distinctive features of the X-101.
- The fragments and parts of the rocket that were shown (https://t.me/ToBeOr_Official/15472) by the SBU after the strike on Okhmatdyt, namely the engine panel, supporting spar, serial number and markings, do correspond to the X-101.
- The fragments of the rocket that the SBU showed were indeed found near the ruins of the Okhmatdyt building, and not anywhere else: these fragments are visible in the photo of journalists from Gazeta.ua, Kyiv Post and Reuters (photo 2).
- Claims that this is an American AIM-120 are false, since the AIM-120 does not have a turbojet engine in place of the tail unit. Also, the wings of the AIM-120 in the center of the rocket do not match the wings of the X-101, which we saw in the video. The AIM-120 also has a sharp nose, unlike the X-101. To verify this, Bellingcat compared 3D models of the X-101 and AIM-120 (look again at photo 1).
- In an attempt to justify the strike, the VES.RF channel stated that Okhmatdyt was located next to the State Aviation Service of Ukraine (and Z-political scientist Sergei Markov stated that a meeting of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was supposedly taking place nearby - approx.). With these justifications, they themselves undermine the version that it was an American anti-missile missile.
If a Russian missile had hit Okhmatdyt, there would have been nothing left of the building - Russian Representative to the UN
The more Russia justifies itself, the more it becomes clear how big a lie this is! And while the entire world media is shocked by the horror that happened in Kyiv, propagandists, the Ministry of Murder and the Kremlin are trying to promote the message that these are not their missiles.
Although Putin deliberately aimed at the most famous children's hospital.

Unknown persons brought poisoned drinking water to the site of the missile attack on Okhmatdyt: Kyiv Police are checking the information
Kiev volunteer and head of the HELP IN MUKACHEVO charity foundation Ekaterina Terekhova, who helped clear the rubble at the site of the Russian missile attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital, reported that unknown persons brought a toxic liquid.
According to her, the water was given to volunteers who helped clear the rubble at the site where the Russian missile hit the Okhmatdyt hospital.
The volunteer noted that two police officers who came into contact with the water received chemical poisoning.
So, she says, one of the policemen washed his face with this water, and the other only drank a little of it.
According to the volunteer, they were pumped out by an ambulance. The water, as noted, was packaged, but then, when it was compared with other similar water, it turned out that the labels on them were different.
