Volodymyr Yelchenko, the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, does not understand why UN Secretary-General António Guterres completely ignores the crimes of militants of illegal armed groups in Donbas.

Yelchenko wrote about this on his Twitter account.

"Okay. How about saying a word about recent attack and killing of Ukrainian medical personnel by Russian terrorists in Donbas?" Yelchenko asked in response to a message from the UN press service in which Secretary General António Guterres condemned attacks on civilian infrastructure in Syria.

As reported, at about 10:50 a.m. on July 1, a medical evacuation vehicle of Ukraine's Joint Forces was hit by an enemy anti-tank missile near Vodiane, Donetsk region. One soldier was killed on the spot, a female doctor later died of wounds in hospital.
