According to Matsokin: "I thought the gates of hell had closed, but it turned out we were only in the first circle. This [in the video] is the reception area of ​​our central city hospital. Maybe [the Russian troops thought that it was] another secret NATO base. Patients tried to crawl from under the rubble as best they could.

Background:

On the night of 3 March, Russian occupying forces struck at the civilian population of Izyum, killing at least 8 people, 2 of them children.
The Russian occupiers continue to bomb Izyum heavily with aircraft and missiles.

On 4 March, it became known that part of Izyum was left without gas supply due to the occupiers’ military operations.
