Jun 24, 2024
Kyiv [Ukraine], June 24: Nazariy Gichka surveyed the roof of the Kyiv maternity hospital he runs as workers installed a scarce and suddenly vital new commodity in Ukraine: solar panels. Waves of devastating drone and missile attacks by Russian forces have again crippled Ukrainian power plants, causing blackouts and forcing Ukrainians to plan for the worst. "They are being so cynical - we need to be prepared for anything. Why should children suffer as they are coming into this world?" the hospital director told AFP.
