Jakarta (WNAM MONITORING): The Indonesian government strongly condemned a recent attack on civilian facilities in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, including a children’s hospital, which resulted in civilian casualties.
“These attacks violate international law; there are rules of war,” the Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a post on its social media on Thursday.
The ministry also urged all parties to make peace efforts to ensure the war in Ukraine is stopped for good.
On Monday, the eve of the 2024 Washington Summit, where leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO’s) 32 member states met, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of attacking a children’s hospital in Kyiv.
Meanwhile, Kyiv city military administration chief Serhiy Popko reported damages to several buildings and vehicles in the capital’s Solomian, Holosiiv, Darnytsia, and Sviatoshyn districts due to missile fragments.
A children’s hospital in Shevchenko district was among the buildings damaged in the attack. Popko informed that at least seven residents were killed and 25 others were injured in the attack.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov rejected Zelenksyy’s accusation. He stressed that the Russian military attacked only military objects with high-precision weapons to avoid civilian casualties.
