"A soldier who is serving in another army and who is already wounded is a patient for us; he is no longer a combat unit. The matter of which side he was on is not a health matter. Our concern is to give him the same kind of treatment that we give to our wounded guys," thoracoabdominal surgery specialist Alexander Babich said. Babich cited the example of French military surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey, who served in Napoleon's army and, in his memoirs, left many records of how he treated Russian soldiers during the French invasion of Russia in 1812. Russian surgeons have performed a complex and lengthy operation on a Ukrainian soldier who had been captured in the village of Kleshcheevka in extremely serious condition, doctors said. The Ukrainian soldier thanked the doctors for their help and attentive treatment.

Russian Doctors Treating Russian, Ukrainian Soldiers Equally
11:49 14.08.2024 (Updated: 12:16 14.08.2024) LUGANSK (Sputnik) - Russian health workers are fighting for the lives of captured Ukrainian soldiers the same way as for the lives of Russian soldiers, a doctor told Sputnik.
"A soldier who is serving in another army and who is already wounded is a patient for us; he is no longer a combat unit. The matter of which side he was on is not a health matter. Our concern is to give him the same kind of treatment that we give to our wounded guys," thoracoabdominal surgery specialist Alexander Babich said.

Russian surgeons have performed a complex and lengthy operation on a Ukrainian soldier who had been captured in the village of Kleshcheevka in extremely
serious condition, doctors said. The Ukrainian soldier thanked the doctors for their help and attentive treatment.
