Anthony Blinken also visited the Okhmatdet children's hospital in the Kyiv region. Now many children in the hospital are undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after injuries that children received during the Russian shelling of civilian areas in Ukraine. Among the children with whom Blinken talked is a 6-year-old girl, Maryna. During the shelling of Kherson, a Russian rocket hit Maryna's house, crippling a child.
