Aftermath of Ukrainian HIMARS Attack on Donbass Hospital

Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky has blamed the United States for the Ukrainian attack on a hospital in the Donbass, saying that the use of the HIMARS rocket launchers was green-lit by Washington, which makes the US "directly complicit".

Western countries have intensified their military support for Ukraine after Russia launched a special military operation there in late February 2022, responding to calls for help from the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

In April 2022, Moscow sent a note to NATO member states condemning their military assistance to Kiev after Russia started its military operation in Ukraine.
