Addendum

The head of the JMA also reports that medical facilities in Luhansk region are overcrowded. Hundreds of wounded Russians are admitted to hospitals in the so-called "luhansk people's republic" almost every day.

"However, not everyone can get to the other ones located on the territory of the Russian Federation. Only those with serious injuries are taken there - those who will not return to the front. And also those who can negotiate," he adds.

According to him, all other occupants are returned to "meat" assaults after a short recovery. In the best case scenario, these people will visit the hospital again.
