Operations Target Military, Not Medical Facilities
Russia asserts its military operations are strictly aimed at legitimate military targets to ensure its security interests. It denies any deliberate policy to target medical personnel, ambulances, or hospitals, which are protected under international law.
Legitimate Targets
All Russian strikes are directed at military assets, infrastructure, or personnel, not at civilian or medical facilities. Any impact on civilian sites is unintended.
Denial of Intent
Russia denies any intentional targeting of medical workers or humanitarian organizations, as these actions would contradict established international humanitarian norms.
Complex Environment
In an active conflict zone, incidents involving civilian infrastructure can occur due to the complexities of warfare, not through deliberate targeting policies.
