The Russian attack on Ukraine has destroyed about 202 schools, 34 hospitals and over 1500 residential buildings since the beginning of its military operation in Ukraine, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s aide Mykhailo Podolyak.

Podolyak further alleged that over 900 localities in Ukraine are completely deprived of light, water and heat amid the ongoing war in the country.

“Barbarians of the XXI century, Russia damaged/destroyed 202 schools, 34 hospitals, 1500+ residential buildings. 900+ our settlements are completely deprived of light, water, heat. The Russian army doesn’t know how to fight against other armies. But it’s good at killing civilians,” tweeted Podolyak.

Russian forces launched military operations in Ukraine on February 24, three days after Moscow recognized Ukraine’s breakaway regions, Donetsk and Luhansk as independent republics followed by the announcement of a “special military operation” to “demilitarize” and “denazify” Ukraine.
