In violation of international humanitarian law, Russian invaders are using children's institutions in the temporarily occupied settlements to provide medical care to their wounded soldiers.

This is reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"In Makarove, in the Luhansk region, Russian servicemen set up a military hospital on the territory of a children's recreation camp, where more than 100 wounded occupants are being treated. Russian military equipment and checkpoints are scattered throughout the camp. Residential buildings are located in the immediate vicinity," the General Staff said.

According to him, the situation is similar in the Lyman, Luhansk region, where the invaders have converted the ʼYalynkaʼ children's recreation camp into a military hospital. There are also more than 100 wounded Russian soldiers there. The territory of the camp is also used to store military equipment.

As reported, the Russian invaders continue to use civilian medical facilities in the occupied territories for their own purposes. In particular, the invaders turned the upper floors of the Lutuhyne District Territorial Medical Association into a military hospital, and left the children's department on the ground floor to cover it.
