Russia has described its invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation" to demilitarise its neighbour and rid it of dangerous nationalists threatening its Russian-speaking population.
"Far from promoting global health, Russia has disrupted health services, destroyed health facilities, and continues to strike buildings where innocent civilians including children are sheltering," Palm said.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Russian forces have devastated hundreds of hospitals and other institutions and left doctors without drugs to tackle cancer or unable to perform surgeries.
