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.
