Olena Barsukova, Ukrainska Pravda.Zhyttia — WEDNESDAY, 20 JULY

55 injured people who suffered as a result of a Russian missile attack on the city on 14 July are still being treated in Vinnytsia hospitals.

8 patients are in a critical condition, reports Tetiana Bondarenko, a representative of the Vinnytsia Oblast Military Administration.

Pavlo Kovalchuk, a paediatric neurologist from the Neuromed clinic, which came under fire, is being treated abroad.

The condition of a 20-year-old girl, who has burns on 98% of her body, remains critical.

A total of 8 patients were transferred to Lviv to be sent to other European countries for treatment.

"Currently, three of them have already been sent to clinics in Poland and Germany. There is one child among them. This became possible thanks to cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine," said Bondarenko.

Those injured after the shelling of Vinnytsia are receiving all the necessary medical care, the Vinnytsia Oblast Military Administration emphasises.

On 14 July, the Russian occupiers fired at the centre of Vinnytsia with high-precision Kalibr missiles.

As of 19 July, the number of people killed by the rocket attack was 25. Children were killed in the Russian terrorist attack, including 4-year-old Lisa.

Iryna, Lisa's mother, suffered severe abdominal injuries and is currently in hospital.

The Neuromed medical centre, where the doctors and patients were, was completely destroyed as a result of the shelling. 

The clinic reported that its administrator Kateryna Hula and manager Tetiana Kharchenko were killed after the rocket attack. 

Natalia Falshtynska, a neurologist, later died in hospital.
