In occupied Sievierodonetsk, the queue for the pension fund is a month in advance. You can only get a coupon for an appointment with specialists in mid-August. If you miss an appointment, you will have to wait another 30 days. In two years, the organisation of services has remained at an extremely low level. The invaders have introduced an electronic queue, but there is no internet in the city.

Residents of Rubizhne cannot find out in a timely manner whether their housing has been subject to the so-called “nationalisation”. Most of the relevant announcements are published only on the entrances of houses. A few are published on the Internet, which, like in Sievierodonetsk, is not available to the population of Rubizhne. It is difficult to find out about the loss of housing, even if you live in another part of the city or a nearby village.

What is happening now in the north of Ukraine

Kyiv oblast

The russian missile attack on Kyiv medical facilities on 8 July took the lives of six medical workers. The Ministry of Health has named the healthcare workers who were killed at their workplaces during the barbaric russian attack:

Svitlana Lukianchyk, a nephrologist at the Okhmatdyt hospital. At the time of the attack, she was evacuating children on dialysis to a shelter;
Svetlana Poplavskaya, an obstetrician-gynaecologist at Adonis, mother of three;
Tatiana Sharova, a senior nurse at the Adonis clinic. In 2014, she and her family fled the war from Donetsk. Tatiana’s son was in russian captivity;
Viktor Brahutsa is an ultrasound diagnostics doctor at the Adonis clinic, father of two girls;

On 10 July, Health Minister Viktor Liashko announced that a boy who was transported in critical condition to a Kyiv hospital after the russian missile attack on Okhmatdyt on 8 July 2024 died.

The Financial Times, citing experts and Ukrainian officials, reported that the russian X-101 missile, which destroyed the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv on 8 July, is made up of Western-made components. This is evidence of russia’s success in circumventing sanctions. Specialists from Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise have identified more than 30 parts and fragments of the X-101 missile. An analysis of russian documents shows how russian companies in 2023 were able to obtain the parts by buying them on the open market and importing them through China.
