Explained simply
Kharkiv is a major city in north-eastern Ukraine, near the Russian border. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, the city has faced repeated attacks, while its hospitals have continued to care for local residents and people displaced by fighting.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has involved strikes on cities and civilian infrastructure, alongside battles between Russian and Ukrainian forces. Hospitals are essential in wartime both for treating injuries and keeping other medical services running, so damage can affect patients beyond those directly hurt.
