Austria received for treatment two seriously ill children from the Kyiv Okhmatdyt hospital, where Russia launched a missile strike on July 8. Austrian Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced this on Sunday, July 21, in a post on social network X (formerly Twitter).
He noted that the decision to help was made quickly;
“With the cooperation between the Austrian Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ÖGK and the Ukrainian authorities, it was possible to bring two seriously ill children to Austria to continue their treatment,” he said.
In turn, Ukrainian Ambassador to Austria Vasyl Khiminets thanked Nehammer for his participation in helping Ukrainian children and confirmed that help is being offered immediately.

During the strike, there were 627 children in the establishment, eight of whom were injured, and two adults were killed. 94 patients were taken to other hospitals. Another boy later died of his injuries.
