Russian attacks on rescuers in Ukraine
Russian forces consistently employ a tactic of repeated strikes — first targeting civilian objects and then emergency service professionals such as medics, rescuers, and police.
This tactic is most frequently observed in Kharkiv region. Recent incidents include the shelling of a recreational base near Kharkiv on May 19, resulting in at least 5 deaths and around 20 injuries. Among the injured were a police officer and an emergency medical technician.
