Russian shelling of ambulance crews in Ukraine

Shelling the vehicles of medical crews is a common tactic for Russian troops. This is not the first time the invaders have organized such attacks.

For example, in June, the occupiers opened fire on residential areas of Kherson. An ambulance came under fire, the doctors were not injured, but a local man was killed. Also, in early April, Russian troops fired at an ambulance in Beryslav, injuring 2 paramedics and 6 civilians. In December 2022, the Russian military launched a missile attack on Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, injuring a paramedic of an ambulance that came under fire.
