The US promised Russia a response for the Okhmatdyt attack

NATO allies and Ukraine’s partners are working to ensure that the Russian attack on the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv does not go unanswered. This is what White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on the sidelines of the NATO summit, Ukrinform reported on Thursday, July 11.

The United States and its partners are working with Ukraine to respond to the horrific Russian attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv on July 8, Sullivan said.

The White House adviser also noted that Ukraine’s allies are taking many steps to ensure that the Ukrainian Armed Forces get an advantage on the battlefield. In particular, the United States, along with the Netherlands and Denmark, began transferring F-16 fighters. Hundreds of thousands of units of 155-mm ammunition, air defense systems, and long-range missiles, including ATACMS, are supplied.

On the US side, Sullivan also promised to provide hundreds of critical missiles for air defense systems next year.

We remind you that President Vladimir Zelensky is confident that the allies should remove all restrictions on attacks on military targets on Russian territory.

As reported, on July 8, the Russians launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine. One of the targets was the Okhmatdyt hospital in Kyiv. During the strike, there were 627 children in Okhmatdyt, eight of them were injured, and two adults died. 94 patients were taken to other hospitals.

Subsequently, the boy who was in the intensive care unit of Okhmatdyt at the time of the Russian attack died in the hospital.

The SBU established that the Russians hit Okhmatdyt with an X-101 cruise missile.
