Civilian hospitals in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are full of Russian wounded: soldiers who suffered light injuries are denied treatment

This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. 

The Intelligence Directorate said that Russia cannot cope with "the flow of sanitary losses among the personnel": civilian hospitals in the temporarily occupied territories, which they use as military hospitals, are overcrowded.

"Deprivation of basic medical needs of the civilian population in the captured regions of Ukraine and the conversion of medical institutions to the military needs of the Moscow occupation army did not work," the statement said. 

Therefore, the Russian command decided to refuse treatment to the lightly wounded. Those who suffered moderate injuries are trying to provide assistance, while the seriously wounded are being sent to Russia for treatment. The Intelligence noted that "not everyone gets there".

"Rehabilitation leaves for the invaders after injuries have also become an acute problem for the Russian occupation army. The fact of failure to return from "rehabilitation" led to the decision to cancel such leaves altogether - another method by which the Russian occupation command is trying to stop mass desertion," the Intelligence Service added. 

  • Earlier it was reported that due to the lack of beds in military hospitals, Russians are placing their servicemen in the morgue of the temporarily occupied Alchevsk, Luhansk region.
