Russia forces medical students to treat wounded Russian soldiers in occupied Ukraine

This was reported by the National Resistance Centre.

Russian occupiers are threatening to expel students from the educational institution for refusing to do their internship in a military hospital.

"The enemy is forcing students of fake medical schools to help the wounded Russian occupiers. We are talking about the so-called students of 'medical schools' in the TOT. Senior students are involved in service to the enemy during their internship. It is impossible to refuse this practice, because in this case, the occupiers threaten to expel them," the statement reads.

According to the resistance, before the practice, Russians instruct young specialists, and FSB officers talk to the trainees. In particular, students are threatened with the consequences of disclosing information and warned of responsibility for so-called extremism.

• Earlier this month, the National Resistance Centre reported that the local population in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region does not have access to sufficient medicines. Instead, Russia is turning hospitals into military hospitals.
