A series of Russian strikes has destroyed warehouses that supply most of Ukraine's pharmacies, according to reports. The attacks on medical storage facilities have happened over recent months.
These warehouses were central to Ukraine's medical supply chain. They held everything from common medicines to critical supplies for hospitals.
The destruction severely limits the availability of medicine across the country. Pharmacies are now struggling to restock essential items.
Military analysts note that targeting medical infrastructure is a repeated tactic in the conflict. Such strikes complicate healthcare for civilians during wartime.
Ukrainian officials have called the destruction of the medical warehouses a deliberate attack on the nation's health system. They state it will have long-term consequences for public health.
