Russia uses medical check-ups as pretext for deportation, brings doctors from Yakutia to Ukraine

This was reported by the National Resistance Centre.

"Russian doctors continue to arrive in the temporarily occupied territories of eastern Ukraine to conduct medical examinations of the local population, which the Russians use as a pretext for deportation," the National Resistance Centre said.

In the temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine, the locals refuse to cooperate with the Russians, so due to the shortage of labor, the Russian authorities send doctors from Russia on a rotational basis.

This time, the doctors came from Yakutia, and they will work in a network of hospitals in the temporary occupied territories and conduct medical examinations of Ukrainians.

"It is the Russian touring doctors who are responsible for referrals for 'preventive treatment' in various regions of the Russian Federation, where cases of local people being subjected to filtration and left there forever are recorded," the resistance group adds.

• On June 21, it became publicly known that the Russians had again started forced medical examinations of Ukrainian children in the temporarily occupied territories in order to send them to Russia for "rehabilitation".
