In 2024, a young girl named Solomia was among the patients at the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv.
As her kidneys failed, she was receiving dialysis and waiting for a potential organ transplant.
Every day we hoped that Solomia would get a kidney, her mother, Oksana Fomenyuk, told RFE/RL. But on July 8, it wasn't the kidney that arrived, but a Russian missile.
The missile strike was part of a deadly wave of attacks on Ukraine that day, including assaults on civilian sites like the childrens hospital that drew international condemnation.
