The owner of a war-zone mobile hospital in eastern Ukraine has told a Ukrainian TV interviewer that he has instructed his doctors to ‘castrate’ captured Russian soldiers.
Gennadiy Druzenko, 49, told Ukraine-24 about his alleged order, but it is unclear if it was bravado or a genuine order that would break the Geneva Conventions.
Discussing captured injured Russian soldiers, Druzenko said: ‘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. Die in large numbers.
‘Those who [come here] will remember their nightmare on Ukrainian soil.
‘Like the Germans remember Stalingrad.’
The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the comments, which means that if Druzenko is captured he will face trial under Russian law.
‘The head of the Ukrainian Mobile Hospital project, Gennady Druzenko, called for violence against captured soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces live on a Ukrainian TV channel.
‘He gave this instruction to the doctors of mobile hospitals.’
The head of the committee Alexander Bastrykin, a former university classmate of Vladimir Putin, initiated a criminal case over his castration demand which is ‘contrary to the law and the norms of medical ethics.’
Druzenko is set to be put on Russia’s international wanted list.
The Russians are murdering innocent people for no reason. I don’t like the idea, but what do the innocent people of Ukraine have too lose? They’re being slaughtered for God Sake.
castrate Putin in front of “his people” on public display!!!!
I don’t believe much of this baloney….this guy shooting off his mouth is pretty reckless.
I guess you don’t remember that 2014 Reuter’s article about the neo Nazis slaughtering eastern Ukranians. Perspectives have been warped by the media. I’m no fan of Nazis and without Russia we wouldn’t have been on the winning side of WWII.
How soon we forget—
I am FED-UP with people jumping to conclusions without getting the ENTIRE story from ALL sides , as well as the VILE DEMONIC media for only reporting the side of the story they want to push on people-that is called brainwashing. Yes, Russia should never have invaded Ukraine and caused the destruction and death of civilians….but there is CLEAR evidence the corrupt leader of Ukraine has abused his power and not only attacked any person who disagreed with him within politics but also the citizens in areas of differing opinions. While Putin was wrong for his actions, he did have a legitimate rational for doing so. As far as the POS that is ordering castration, he should be EXECUTED. If captured American forces were castrated in the past wars, there would have been an outcry like no other.
