The condition of the child who was wounded in the shelling of the western outskirts of Donetsk by the Ukrainian military on June 4, remains stably difficult. This was reported by the chief doctor of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital, Sergey Markov.

‘The boy's condition is difficult, but stable. He was operated on and is now in the intensive care,’ said Markov.

He believes that now it is too early to make any forecasts of the patient's rehabilitation, because the injuries he received are ‘too serious’.

‘The main stage has been completed, now he needs time to recover, the doctor emphasized.

In the evening of June 4, the Ukrainian military opened mortar fire on the territory of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. As a result, a civilian woman was killed, and her nine-year-old son wounded. As it turned out later, the child received a mine and blast injury, a fragmentation wound of the abdominal cavity, a thigh and a finger. Now he is under the careful supervision of doctors.
