Russia claims Mariupol hospital was base for Ukraine nationalists
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claims that a hospital that was attacked in the southern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol had been serving as a military base for nationalists.
“This maternity hospital has long been occupied by the Azov Battalion and other radicals. They drove out the women in labor, nurses and general staff. It was the base of the ultra-radical Azov Battalion,” Lavrov says, following talks in Turkey with his Ukrainian counterpart.
Notably, photos following the attack showed injured pregnant women.
