Russia destroyed a rehabilitation center for children with disabilities in the Sumy region
Russian troops destroyed a rehabilitation center for children with disabilities in the Sumy region. The destruction was reported following yet another attack by the occupiers.
“I clearly remember the people who proudly showed us the Sumy Regional Center for Comprehensive Rehabilitation for Children and People with Disabilities. I remember their dedication to their work, their care for the children and adults undergoing rehabilitation, and their special love for the place they themselves called their ‘little Switzerland.’ Today, one of the center’s wings lies in ruins following a Russian strike,” he said.
According to Sibiga, he and his wife have been supporting this center for a long time and remain in constant contact with its staff.
“Here, surrounded by incredible nature, children and adults were helped to regain faith in themselves, recover, and move forward. And it is precisely such places that Russia deliberately chooses as its targets,” he added.
Sybiga assured that, together with international partners, he would work to rebuild what has been destroyed, help the center resume full operations, and provide it with everything it needs.
On the night of July 18–19, Russian troops launched a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv. One person was killed and eight others were injured as a result of the attack. Damage and fires were reported in five districts of the capital.
Throughout the day on July 17, Russian troops launched strikes on Kharkiv and 29 other settlements in the Kharkiv region. Two people were killed and 18 others were injured as a result of the shelling; among the victims were five children.
Throughout the day on July 17, the Chernihiv region came under attack from enemy drones. Fires broke out in several districts at once, but Ukrainian rescue workers have already extinguished them.
