Russian forces have indiscriminately bombed civilian infrastructure and residential areas\u2014including Okhmatdyt Children&#8217;s Hospital in Kyiv.<\/p>\r\n<p>Christy Hoffman, General Secretary of UNI Global Union, visited the hospital as part of an international trade union delegation in May.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><em>\u201cWhen we visited Okhmatdyt Hospital, we heard care workers\u2019 struggles to save lives while being under resourced, understaffed and under constant threat of bombs. We saw the war\u2019s devastating impact on children. To have this place of healing turned into rubble is the result of unspeakable cruelty and an affront to humanity,\u201d<\/em> <strong>Hoffman said.<\/strong> \u201cOur hearts are with the patients and their families enduring this heart-wrenching situation.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>\u201cThe suffering endured by the people of Ukraine, especially the children, is a stark reminder of the urgent need for a just resolution of this war. We condemn these atrocities and demand justice in the face of this depravity.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>The ITUC condemned these attacks as well with\u00a0<strong>General Secretary Luc Triangle<\/strong> saying, <em>\u201cAttacks like this on civilian infrastructure and public services are never justified, whether in Ukraine or anywhere else. This kind of brutality against innocent children and civilians must not go unpunished.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Photo description: Near the Okhmatdyt children&#8217;s hospital in Kyiv after a Russian
