Russian strikes hit the city of Dnipro in Ukraine on Tuesday. Two people were killed and 20 others were hurt. The attacks hit residential areas. Medical buildings were damaged too. A hospital was hit, along with a hospice caring for nearly 50 people who are very sick and near the end of life. The attack came as Ukraine and its allies push for a new round of peace talks.
Dnipro is a large city in central-eastern Ukraine, built on the Dnipro river. It has been hit many times since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Russia says it aims at military targets, not civilians. Ukraine and rights groups say hospitals, homes and power plants are often hit. Care homes are hard to protect in this war. Staff move patients into basements and corridors when the air raid alarm sounds.
Civilians, including very sick patients, keep paying the price of this war. Each attack makes the push for a ceasefire more urgent.
