Ohmatdyt is a major hospital which carries out cancer treatment and organ transplants. "Now we are in the process of evacuating patients to the nearest hospital..

Following the strike, Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina wore a black ribbon as a mark of respect when she played in the round of 16 at Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.
