A children’s hospital was bombed on Wednesday March 9 in Mariupol (Ukraine), where a pregnant woman was evacuated on a stretcher. Russia accuses her of being an actress.
On Wednesday, March 9, the Mariupol children’s hospital in southeastern Ukraine was bombed. Among the striking images, this pregnant woman evacuated on a stretcher. But very quickly, Russia questions the veracity of the attack: “The alleged airstrike is a completely staged provocation to fuel an anti-Russian hype aimed at a Western audience”denounced Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
In reality, there were indeed bombardments in Mariupol which targeted civilians. The attack on this hospital killed three people and injured 17. The Ukrainian, admittedly an influencer, was truly pregnant and did not play a role, contrary to Russian statements. She was evacuated from Mariupol hospital to be transferred to another facility, where she gave birth to a baby girl.
