The owner of a war-zone
mobile hospital in eastern Ukraine has instructed his doctors to
“castrate captured Russian soldiers”.
It comes as Ukraine said
it would not accept ultimatums from Russia after Moscow demanded it stops
defending besieged Mariupol.
Hundreds of thousands of
civilians are suffering through Russian bombardments laying waste to the port
city.
Gennadiy Druzenko, 49, told
Ukraine-24 channel about Russian military prisoners of war: “I have always been
a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy
but a patient.
“But now [I gave] very strict
orders to castrate all [captured Russian] men because they are cockroaches,
not people.”
Since 2014, some 500 doctors –
male and female – have worked with Druzenko’s mobile hospital.
A lawyer by training, he set
up the First Voluntary Mobile Hospital which deploys civilian doctors and
nurses in the conflict zone close to the separatist republics in eastern Ukraine.
He also told famous Russian TV
host Yevgeny Kiselyov on the Ukraine-24 channel: “Believe all doctors who saved the
patients – Russians will die here.
