Not medics but medical facilities and the number is even bigger it's just that I gave number from wiki so people would not start complaining.
Anyway, let me quote your source: "These are medical facilities in the de-occupied territories, as well as those that have suffered minor damage: broken windows, roof destruction, damage to the facade, etc. " Broken windows from blast waves hardly fit your claim of "destroyed hospitals and clinics".
Or take this one [0]: "A few days before the attack, Ukrainian soldiers took up positions inside the nursing home, effectively making the building a target.
Two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Russian forces assaulted a nursing home in Stara Krasnyanka in the eastern Luhansk region. "
What Ukrainian soldiers did was a war crime, but that case surely is somewhere in your number of medical facilities destroyed by Russians.

First, Zelenskyy was just reacting to what the DPSU (State Border Guard Service) told him. And mostly likely what they reported was (at worst) a somewhat premature, but not unreasonable inference based on the information they had at the time.
This information being, at the time, the following facts: (1) The aggressor opened fire shortly after the guard patrol refused to surrender, and rightly told the warship what, precisely, it needed to do with itself; and (2) all contact with the patrol was lost shortly after that; and (3) before the close of the same day it was observed that all infrastructure on the island had been destroyed after an intense air and naval bombardment.
Further, there was a significant delay (about 48 hours -- in any case on the 26th, 2 days later) between the assault on the island, and the first indication by the DPSU that some of the personnel on the island might still be alive. In any case confirmation was not provided by the aggressor until the 28th.
Meanwhile Zelenskyy's statement was issued on the 25th, so entirely within this window in which the details were not fully known, but during which it was perfectly reasonable to assume the soldiers had most likely been killed, based on the information available. Plus the war had literally just started, and it wasn't like he didn't have a lot of other distractions at the time.
In sum: no story here, just the usual fog of war. Definitely not in the category of an intential deception ("one big lie") as you're making it out to be. And unlike the DPSU, you've had close to a full 3 years to catch up with the full story by now, so if anything it is your own less than forthright representation of the matter which should be raising eyebrows, in view of this context.
In this evil, awful, insanely stupid war, based entirely on lies from the very start.

Source for one inflated number (742) contained incidents with individual medics along with damaged facilities, the source that you provided next includes buildings with broken windows.
>I really don't care what you discard or not.
That's your right, but I cared to explain why "Dude I am from Ukraine" and numbers coming solely from the Ukrainian government aren't trustworthy.
>Russia is an expansionist colonial empire trying to retake it's former colonies by any means including force.
That's a very odd use of the word 'colony'. Where have you seen a colony where its metropole developed aerospace and shipbuilding industry, for example?
