Pskov, Russia - A woman died at a Chernihiv hospital, bringing the number of Russian pilgrims killed in a road accident in Ukraine to 15, a regional administration source told Interfax-Ukraine.
The woman, who sustained severe injuries in the accident, died despite doctors’ efforts to save her life.
Two Russian pilgrims, Marina Moryakova, who was mistakenly listed as dead, and Sergei Potashenkov, remain at Chernihiv’s clinic.
The Health Ministry said on Thursday, July 12, that, according to Ukrainian
doctors, the state of one of the Russian citizens being treated in
Chernihiv had improved.
Fourteen pilgrims from Russia’s town of Velikye Luki were killed and
another 29 were injured in a bus crash in Ukraine early on July 7. They
were heading to a monastery in western Ukraine’s Pochayiv.
Twenty-seven people injured in the accident are currently being treated at hospitals in Moscow, Pskov and Chernihiv.
