Details: According to the available data, 57 Ukrainians died as a result of the Russian invasion; 169 more were injured.

Lyashko explained that healthcare facilities have had to restructure.

On Thursday, along with the imposition of martial law, the Ministry of Health suggested that those who could be treated on an outpatient basis could leave healthcare facilities, so that the latter can be ready to receive Ukrainians who will need urgent medical attention and care across Ukraine.

According to Lyashko, healthcare workers are working constantly, and all medics are on duty – not just surgeons, traumatologists or emergency care workers.

All health workers are on active duty at their workplaces: in public hospitals, as well as in healthcare institutions overseen by the Ministry of Health and the National Academy of Medical Sciences. There are news of preparedness to deliver healthcare services from some private clinics.

In Lyashko’s words: "We are working with pharmaceutical plants, with drug distributors – all of them are ready, all of them are willing to defend our state."
