Russian troops use civilian hospitals in the occupied territories for their wounded
The General Staff reports that Russian troops, as well as mercenaries from a private military company, are using Ukrainian civilian infrastructure to treat those injured in the fighting.
The Russians are trying to advance in the Bakhmut and Liman directions, trying to improve the tactical situation in the Kupyansk, Avdiivka and Zaporizhzhya directions, and defending in the Novopavlovsk and Kherson directions.
The General Staff reported:
At least 300 wounded Wagner PMC mercenaries are being treated in a hospital in Belovodsk, Luhansk Region, while some 300 more are recovering from fighting for Bakhmut in Pervomaisk, in a "military hospital" located at a local lyceum.
Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Anna Malyar also said on Facebook:
Medical facilities in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine are overburdened and unable to cope with the large number of wounded Russian occupation troops.
A significant number of them die before receiving priority medical care, including due to lack of personnel and lack of necessary medical equipment and medicines.
In order to prevent the lightly wounded from deserting, the premises in which they are held are locked up with metal bars.
