Mother Hospital: Safe place is hit by Russia with rocket

Diana Koshyk was 23 years old and had great difficulty getting pregnant. After several miscarriages, she finally received the longed -for news: she and her husband awaited her first child. Due to the high risks of her pregnancy, Koshyk was sent to the Maternity Hospital in Kamianske, Ost- Ukraine that she thought she was the safest place. But in the early morning hour on Tuesday, the Russian Militächacht with a ballistic rocket attack, the Koshyk, her unborn child and two other people cost their lives. At least 22 people, including several nurses, midwives, a doctor and patient, were injured.

A shocking loss for family and friends

The sudden death of Koshyk, shortly before she wanted to give birth to her child, shook her relatives. "She and her husband wanted a child, but she had miscarriages ... and then life smiled at her, she got pregnant and was already in the seventh month, and then this happened," reported Koshyk's girlfriend Yana Belobrova CNN. Another long girlfriend, Anna Bunich, described Koshyk as a "sunbeam" and said: "She loved children very much and was very looking forward to her own ... and now Russia has cut her thread of life."

Another attack on civil goals

The Maternity Hospital in Kamianske was part of several clear civilians that hit Russia just a few hours after the announcement of US President Donald Trump, who shortened a period of 50 days for the Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war to "10 or 12 days". At a press conference in Scotland on Monday, Trump indicated that he became impatient with Putin. "We thought we had clarified this numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and begins to fire rockets onto a city like Kiev and killed many people in an old people's home or something," warned Trump, threatening secondary sanctions against Russia's oil and gas exports, should not be fulfilled.

Ukraine calls for a strong sign of the international community

Ukraine welcomed the new period and expressed that Putin only reacted to strength. "A clear attitude and expression of determination of (Trump) - exactly at the right time, if a lot can be changed through strength for a real peace," said Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj on the platform X. But the new period could not prevent Russia from doing fatal attacks. In the night to Tuesday morning, at least 27 civilians were killed nationwide, which is an exceptionally high balance even in view of the recently increased number of drone and rocket attacks by Russia.

Russia shows no interest in peace

In the event of a rocket attack on a small grocery store in the village of Novoplatonivka in the Charkiw region, five people were killed, and 16 civilian inmates died in an attack on a prison in the Saporischschja region. Selenskyj said that the fatal attacks show that Russia has no interest in peace. "The Russian leadership wastes the time of the world by talking about peace while killing people at the same time," he said. "Every killing of our people through the Russians, every Russian attack - at a time when a ceasefire could have been valid for a long time, if not Russia's refusal - shows that Moscow deserves strict, painful and therefore just and effective sanctions."

Russia's reaction to international threats

The Kremlin seems to be unimpressed by the new threats. "We took note of yesterday's testimony from yesterday," Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Tuesday. "The special military operation continues as usual," he added, using Moscow's name for the war in Ukraine.
