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

Russian disinformation to motivate the troops to fight to the end?
He’s not anti-Russian. He’s just trans-supportive.
What about conservatives? Would anyone care if he castrated conservatives too, or would they cheer him on as a paragon of the Hippocratic Oath?
Why do you think Crimea voted 95% to 5% to leave Euromaiden Ukraine? Ukrainians are historically worse to each other than to outside forces. Ask the Jews!
Brilliantly funny movie...I wish it weren’t so true.
The fog of war etc…
war crime!
Yes…..this is the way to peace. Say stupid stuff like this.
Doc lost his non-combatant status with this.
Rwanda. History repeats.
Saving the free world, one testicle at a time....../s
That sounds like a big green light for Russians to bomb Ukrainian hospitals without remorse.
“He’s not anti-Russian. He’s just trans-supportive.”
You win the internet.
Daily Mail will publish anything. BS
ONLY if the story is true. Most likely a light weight Dr. trying to act tough. However if true, then I believe Russia may just have an issue with the way Russian prisoners of war are treated. Causing escalation through Bravado is the STUPIDIST thing Ukraine could do right about now.
yeah this isnt right to do. not approaching from the whether its disinformation or not angle, just from is it right to od or not to captured enemies.
its not.
if you don’t think so, now what if some soldiers are female? if that makes you say no, its not right for men either. dont be hypocritical.
A stupid thing to say. It does motivate the Russians, and invite reprisals. To say nothing of the PR value to Putin. Castration is wee bit...um... Nazi in the eyes of a lot of people.
What part of the video of the man saying this live on TV makes it daily mail BS in your opinion?
