The head of the Syrian White Helmets has addressed the people of Ukraine after the start of the Russian invasion war. The White Helmets are those who tend to those injured in airstrikes in rebel-held areas of Syria.

What the man, whose name is Raed Al Saleh, said was a warning: Under no circumstances should the Ukrainians give the coordinates of their field hospitals to the UN. This is how the Russians got the data from the health centers in Syria. Then systematically bomb them. After the warning from Syria, it was only a few hours before the Russian air force attacked a children's hospital in Mariupol.
