everything happened the day before, eyewitnesses told, people say that not immediately realized what happened, some started to panic, let's listen to their direct speech, we were behind here in 5 minutes, how everything happened and managed to get there to the pediatric department, i don't know, it's just a pity. i don't know if it's the arrival or the wreckage, what, guys, this is something, we thought all the time that ahmad was protected, we were just 100% sure that they were not here, but it turned out, the day has begun, we do not operate, when the alarm begins , but the first alarm was cancelled, we took the patient.

to belch and just during the operation there is a new anxiety and we cannot remove the child from the table when she is operated on, usually we finish the operation, but here it was not possible to finish it, because there were such destructions that all the devices failed and we had to manually breathe for the child, but everything is fine with the child now, she was transferred to the hospital, we were waiting. well, we continue to talk about this topic, it is essentially the main topic of our broadcast, our guest joins the broadcast of morning freedom these minutes, it will be volodymyr zhovnir, he is the general director of the okhmadit hospital, with him we will talk about what is happening right now in ohmaditi and about the consequences withdrawal, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you.

good afternoon, i can be heard, you can be heard, thank you for finding the opportunity to join, first of all, accept my condolences, please tell me whether it was possible to evacuate all the departments that needed it, where are these departments now? are all the patients safe, what can you tell us as of now? good afternoon, as of yesterday evening, we did everything possible so that patients who need critical infrastructure, such as power, water and medical gas supply in the destroyed departments, were transferred, i.e. to yesterday we transferred approximately 600 patients to the leading institutions of kyiv, together with our medical teams... with medicines and everything necessary to help these children. what is the biggest request in ohmadit hospital now, we know that a huge number of benefactors throughout yesterday, throughout the night and this morning continue to actually send funds in order to help

ohmadit in the future in reconstruction and so on. what is the hospital's biggest request right now? i don't know, additional space is needed in order to an operation was performed there, so what is the greatest need? we are working now. in close cooperation with the ministry of health and we are looking at where we can temporarily place those leading departments that are key to providing care to children with serious illnesses, and this is the first, and secondly , we are doing everything possible and impossible to restore the hospital infrastructure as soon as possible and there was an opportunity to provide assistance in the hospital itself, that is... specialists are working to restore electricity, deliver water, and also to make medical gases work. mr. volodymyr, everyone is talking about the consequences of being hit, but it is clear that the hospitals are also urgent, that is , there are urgent ones and also those where

surgical interventions were planned, in particular, for the smallest patients of okhmadit. please tell me, in connection with yesterday's attack, how many of these operations had to be postponed and how life-threatening they could be. and actually, given that certain medical services have been postponed. the most important thing is that we have preserved people, preserved specialists. unfortunately, one of our best specialists died took the children to the bomb shelter and came back to check if there were children in the empty room or not, unfortunately one man died, but the team survived, and these teams are now with these children, they are working in... in other locations, in other areas, and they are doing everything possible so that the aid does not stop, and i repeat once again, the ministry of health is helping us a lot in this, and the entire ukrainian society, the entire medical community responded and created the conditions for

planned operations, emergency operations to be carried out, so that her therapy for dialysis patients, patients with oncology. did not stop, and our administration and all doctors are doing everything possible for this, or in my opinion, not a single child who needs highly specialized medical care is currently suffering from the lack of this care. tell me, please, do you have preliminary calculations of what damages, if we are not talking about human lives, if we are not talking about injured people, in material terms, the ohmadit hospital suffered, are there already these preliminary calculations? unfortunately, these calculations are not available, ours are working now specialists, engineers, experts are involved, and they assess the damage, but i can say beforehand that the bill will run into hundreds of millions of hryvnias. mr. volodymyr, and one more

short question, please clarify what was the protocol of action for the doctors of the ohmadit hospital when the air raid alarm sounded, that is, what they had to do, how much they worked. shelter, tell me how this procedural moment usually happens when there is an alarm in kyiv, how your medicines work, you said that the doctor who died, she went back to see if there was anyone else in the premises from where they actually left? we have rooms in the hospital, well, i will say shelters, bomb shelter shelters, they are equipped with everything necessary for children to stay in these shelters and at the alarm. alarm, we let the children into these shelters, well, this time the same thing happened that we let the children into the shelter, everyone was let down, so thank god, there were no casualties among the children, well , the workers who were mainly injured, the workers who

ensured the safe stay of the children in the hospital, i.e. resuscitators were injured somewhere, somewhere... workers who ensured the passage of children, well, that is, thank god, well, the hospital did not suffer big losses in the human sense. mr. volodymyr, and in conclusion very briefly, i understand correctly, the individual buildings of okhmadit, will they continue to work, or has absolutely all work and absolutely all infrastructure of the hospital stopped for now? no, akmedit is working, we have at least three buildings that have continued to work and work at the ohmadit polyclinic, and we are doing everything possible to resume providing help thank you very much, mr. volodymyr, for joining. volodymyr zhovnyar, this is the general director of okhmedit, the guest of our broadcast, we talked about... and how the hospital is working now and how it is recovering from the consequences of the tragedy that happened yesterday, and at this moment

another guest also joins us, this is mykola povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the kyiv city state administration. mr. mykola, first of all, my congratulations and my condolences. i congratulate you. thank you for joining. please clarify at what stage the demolition of debris in the capital in general is now, if we we are talking about medical facilities and other objects that were affected, and the rescue operation, which lasted all night, right? absolutely true, uh,... the search and rescue operation lasted all night and continues to this day, about 400 ee tons of construction debris have already been removed, uh, the work will continue accordingly for today in the morning at two locations, exactly the ahmadyt hospital and a destroyed house also in the shevchenkiv district. how difficult it is to conduct this search and rescue operation in the ohmadit hospital the operation, how dangerous it is for the rescuers, for those who participate, well , considering that it all hangs on a large account on the honest word that pieces of concrete,

it is one story, another story, everything must be done very carefully and professionally, because we don't understand whether there is anyone under these rubbles or not, this also applies to ohmadite and the residential building that collapsed, mr. mykolo, that is, in a state of disrepair... no, there is still no understanding about whether people can stay , is there already an accurate understanding of what there are no people under the rubble, at the moment there is no such understanding, we will be able to give an accurate answer to this question after we complete the search and rescue work at these two objects, that is, after all , there may still be people under the rubble, so please tell me, if we are talking about the okhmadity hospital in particular, which is most often mentioned in the international press and so on... how much was actually managed and where to move the departments that needed it, are you in constant

communication connection with the administration of okhmadyt, we are before by this they had to turn on the chief doctor, in fact, he says that okhmadit will continue to work in those buildings that were not damaged and all the rest of the medical services there are also provided, because there is a certain cooperation with other medical institutions, well, that was exactly what we were talking about , we literally yesterday from the very moment of the flight, just... we started the work to save these patients, about whom the chief doctor also spoke, that is, we are essentially in the same medical space in the place, and all that was needed for that , to save the child, life, rather patients, and not to interrupt the provision of services to them, yesterday everything was done for this, medical teams, an ambulance, yesterday as quickly as possible, as professionally as possible, transported them to dozens of hospitals. hospitals of the city of kyiv, these are children's hospitals, and its transplant center, and

well, everything, everything that was needed, everything was done yesterday, what is being done today, about okhmadit, i want to ask you, maybe you know, volunteer kateryna terykhova reported on social networks that unknown persons brought bottles with poisonous water to the okhmadit hospital, in this post she mentions that those who allegedly came into contact with this liquid, they suffered chemical poisoning, do you know anything, maybe about this incident and... tell us about this solidarity of kyivans and not only, who have been working on the site since yesterday when this hit took place events, about these people on prostheses, who we also saw, helping with this debris analysis, well, on the account of water, i don't want to comment, i don't, no, well, it's unknown to me, i think that the police there will provide accordingly an appropriate assessment of all these statements, but from the point sight of water, i know, yesterday business was definitely connecting, one of the big companies yesterday practically brought a truckload of water... within an hour after this impact, they brought it there, realizing that it,

well, that water is needed there, that's one story, from the point of view cohesion, well, you know how it is, a friend, he manifests himself mainly in trouble, and therefore yesterday practically everyone who was nearby and not nearby, headed to all these cells, explosions, violations, in order to provide as much as possible i gave help in sorting out these... uh, piles, when commenting yesterday the answer to this is one of the questions, because during the demolition of the rubble, again, there were air-terror signals. according to all the rules, it is necessary to leave the place of these rubbles, because they can be, we know these bastards, they can make repeated strikes on those objects that have already been hit by rockets, but yesterday people stayed there, they were mainly volunteers and workers of rescue services, the police, medics, because

they understood that there time goes by minutes, it was necessary, it was necessary to work. sir mykola, if we are talking about hitting okhmadit and another medical facility, there is a residential building, please tell me if there is any preliminary amount of damage in addition to human lives, again, which the ukrainian capital suffered yesterday as a result of the attack of russian forces. we are just now starting to talk about it, to count it, to look at these things, let's say that there are quite a lot of objects that are in ruins, that are broken and so on, and it is about a hundred, there will probably be objects all over the city, this and residential buildings, and schools, and kindergartens. hospital, uh, so, yesterday we were mainly focused on helping the people who were affected as much as possible, i mean the lives of the people directly, to ensure their lives and health as much as possible, we, i'm literally just having a meeting right now, i've been away to you on the air, just now we are talking about the part of restoring all these damaged objects

in the part where it is possible to do it, how to do it? at the same time , the damage caused to the city by the last missile attack will be calculated. very briefly, as for okhmadit, that is the department that suffered the most damage, is there a preliminary understanding that it will be subject to some kind of raids, but we understand that this is not a dogma, and there may be someone there. thank you very much, mr. mykola, for joining, mykola povoroznyk, this is the first deputy head of the kyiv city state administration, a guest of our broadcast, we talked about the situation that is now in the ukrainian capital after the previous russian attack. in the comments, share your impressions of what happened yesterday, and actually, express your condolences, maybe we have the opportunity to somehow help those who suffered, i will remind you that ukrainian society rallied as if yesterday, we saw a huge number of queues of those who wanted to get to okhmadit in order to help, we saw these people who they actually

dismantled the rubble there, not even being rescuers, not being professionally trained for this, and this is also what causes surprise and admiration from ukrainian society, well, in just three hours , the caring people managed to collect more than 100 million hryvnias for restoration of ochmadite. the collection was launched by a joint initiative of united-24 and monobank. both ordinary ukrainians and businesses joined the charity collection. the government is currently looking for new locations for the relocation of the children's hospital. this was announced by prime minister denys shmagal. meanwhile, several medical institutions have already volunteered to receive patients in ohmadita. these are odesa, rivne and vinnytsia regions. they are ready to place children with them. also the minister of health. germany announced that his country would accept ohmadita's patients for treatment. in addition, it is ready poland will also help, as stated by donald tusk. the minister of health of ukraine, viktor lyashko, noted that the building of the hospital that was affected was where dialysis was performed for children. according to him, it was possible to save everyone from the operating and resuscitation departments of the ohmadit children's hospital. children who needed artificial

lung ventilation or oxygen assistance, or who could not live without electricity due to certain medical equipment, were evacuated. first of all. since yesterday, the territory of the children's hospital has been guarded by the police 24 hours a day, they say minister of internal affairs klymenko, rescuers will work until the emergency and rescue work is completed. well , we will be able to see the outside picture of what is happening in ukhmalita now thanks to our correspondence. anastasia sereda, a correspondent of radio liberty, is in the territory of the ohmadit hospital. anastasia, congratulations, what is happening in okhmadita now, who is there and what can you tell me. greetings oleg, greetings to the viewers freedom of the morning, you can hear the generator humming behind me, this is because the work does not stop, with yesterday and all night, they were going on, and now we can see that some of the things have been taken out of the buildings, there is both ordinary furniture and some of the equipment, in particular, they will save

what can be retrieved from the rubble and there is no risk to life, there now from the most damaged building. they have already removed the collapsed part of the roof, yesterday it was dismantled by both civilians and directly by designers, today we can see that the construction workers are working there, and since the work was carried out all night, of course they made sure that people had hot food, that is why the volunteer centers where people are fed, we talked to one of these tents, what they feed, what they offer and what the people of kyiv bring with this food, let's listen. we fed the communal services of the deneshniks and medical workers who remained here. we prepared lunch, and the rest was brought to the usual. residents of kyiv, they also brought goodies, buns, cookies, and fruits, all of this was brought by the residents. i will say that the workers were

like that, we talked with them, who say that they started on duty just before how the attack happened, and they stayed here for the whole night, among them, of course, that they are tired, they are reluctant to comment on the situation, they say that now it is difficult to say how they feel both morally and... physically, not all of the colleagues remained healthy in terms of , it is more correct to say, due to the fact that yesterday the hit took place just at the moment when planned operations were being carried out, regarding the victims, the number of them is being specified, however, there is information that during the night, while these analyzes of the debris are being carried out, not a single body was found, well, about how this night went and shifts, which the employees themselves answered, let's hear how your condition is, how you feel after... and the morale, well, what can be the morale when you see this, of course, i will say that

of course, those who now they are in the rubble here, they are provided with food, however , you ukrainians have shown great solidarity and brought a lot of food and water, but... in this picture of solidarity, there was some, let's say, a spoonful of tar, because yesterday volunteer kateryna terykhova in the evening already stated that they discovered bottles of poisonous water, the label there was different in color from that sold in ordinary stores, and this water causes burns, now the law enforcement officers are already dealing with this case, because they were present just when these bottles were unpacked, and it turned out that when they brought these bottles unknown, but the consequences from those who came in contact with the water in those people are considerable, let's listen, you can see a little of my face now, it's

red, we all have chemical poisoning, which, i can't say otherwise, they just poisoned a bottle of water, ashanov water is medium-carbonated, this is weak, friends, it has a label like this, you can see here... on the wave a dark blue color, when we found another package of such water, there is a wave of a different color, as a result of this bullshit, i can't say the second one, i, another employee of our foundation, and our friends who came to support us, namely the policemen, had a terrible chemical poisoning, thank god, we are all alive, but the fact that one of the policemen just in... all this water, and another policeman, he drank it, friends, and now it is also being pumped out by an ambulance, it is known that

some of the hulls continue to function, those that are damaged have been removed, how long the demolition of the rubble will take, is currently not predicted, but the work is actively underway. olezhe, thank you very much, nastya, for the information, so on wednesday the correspondent of radio liberty is working at the site of the okhmadit hospital in kyiv with the latest news. to us on the air. in the comments, you can write your impressions and thoughts from what you saw, from what you heard, in fact, maybe you can somehow help those who suffered, and i i would like to note that since yesterday the whole world has been discussing what happened in ukraine, including the international press, diplomats, and the strategic kh101 cruise missile. it was this missile, according to the sbu investigators, that the russian military used to attack the national. okhmadyt specialized hospital. criminal proceedings were opened in connection with the attack by the russian federation on a medical institution and the attack was classified as a war crime. evidence was found at the scene of the tragedy - it is

the wreckage of the rear part of the kha-101 missile with a serial number and part of the rudder of the same missile. forensic experts of the ministry of justice of ukraine based on the received video footage and the remains of the rocket found at the scene made preliminary conclusions and also declared that the hospital was hit by a russian x101 missile. an informed source on the right. in a commentary on radio svoboda , these bodies reported that the x101 missile struck, quote, exactly the target for which it was programmed. on the day of the attack , the russian ministry of defense claimed that published photos and videos from kyiv confirmed the fact of the alleged destruction as a result of the fall of the ukrainian anti-aircraft missile , it was launched from an anti-aircraft missile complex within the city limits. however, the moment of impact was caught on video cameras, where the entire body of the missile and the absence of smoke are clearly visible. according to experts, this indicates that the missile was not shot down by air defense. in addition, analysts of the institute for the study of war questioned the words of the russian ministry of defense. they said that the russian side is making false statements about the missiles that were hit and the condition of the hospital. all this

contradicts the existing ones. evidence ukrainian the center for countering disinformation also says that russia is stepping up information operations to disclaim responsibility for the attack on the hospital. serhii zurets, director of the defense express information and consulting company, is already in touch with us. mr. serhiy, i congratulate you. greetings to you, greetings to our viewers. thank you for your involvement, well, do you spread the dots of hope from the videos that are available, from the evidence that is available, from the testimony of the ukrainian law enforcement officers in the criminal proceedings that were launched, which was the goal of the russians... what kind of forces do you think this is such was it an okhmadite or was it a random hit? we made an analysis on our defense express resource, and we can say that our conclusions were even the first, than the sbu did, we knew that the wreckage found on ahmadite was the wreckage of the kha-101 missile, because they worked there specialists of the institute of forensic examination of our prosecutor's office and there were

fragments and parts with numbers, which really confirms, confirms that this is the x 101 missile . it should also be noted that the video, fragmentary screenshots of which you showed our viewers, is complete video, which indicates that the missile carried out such a planned attack on ahmadite, because it really was not hit by our anti-aircraft defense, it went at very low altitudes. within 50 m, she made a slide, that is, she went up to the height before the attack, then she swung almost there , close to 90 to 48 °, she basically made an attack on ahmadit, this indicates that she was following a programmed route, because x101 rocket, they are programmed, and this process is quite complicated and long within one week of

such programming. rockets and she really carried out an almost vertical attack on okhmadite, which indicates that it was indeed a planned terrorist act, which was primarily aimed at intimidating the ukrainian population of our citizens, and i was watching your story about the fact that there was then water that was raised there , brought for urgent needs, she was poisoned, that is , the impression is that it was possible such a... a combined attack not only of an anti-aircraft missile attack of the enemy, but even such a combined attack with the actions of those agent networks that may be operating in the territory of ukraine to actually increase the effect of such a tourist strike by combining it with poisoned water, but in any case, when we go back to the technical indicators, which is the x101 missile, it had a warhead weight

of 400 kg. or 800 kg, we don’t know for sure right now, because the consequences of the destruction of ochmandite are said to be a really powerful combat unit that cannot be compared, in particular with air defense equipment used by the ukrainian armed forces there, in particular, the enemies tried to retouch the video and to show that this is a missile from the nasams complex, which is on the equipment of the air defense forces of ukraine. an important point, here i am, i would just quote the russian side here, because in the ministry of foreign affairs, in their writing, numerous published photos and video footage from kyiv clearly confirm the fact of destruction due to the fall of a ukrainian air defense missile launched from an anti-aircraft missile complex within the city, from where they they take it, that is, they have some evidence, possibly some additional videos that have not been published, but where does it come from, which may indicate that the russian side, at least somehow in this way, i don't know whether to justify or show my position.
