Russian health ministry documents show how Russia is preparing for casualties
ITV News ^ | Feb 25, 2022 | Emma Burrows

I have been given a copy of document issued today by the Russian Ministry of Health which shows it is anticipating a major medical event in which doctors have to be drafted from across the country.

It indicates Russia is anticipating a massive medical emergency and has ordered health organisations to immediately identify medical staff ready to relocate and work. The document from the Russian Ministry of Health is signed by the deputy health minister and dated today - February 25.

It asks medical organisations to be ready "to be promptly involved in activities aimed at saving lives and preserving the health of people in Russia". Russian medical institutions have been ordered by the Health Ministry to send a list no later than 6pm to the deputy health minister of "medical specialists and medical workers… indicating their full name, place of work, positions & contact details". The document makes it clear these medics will be deployed somewhere and will be offered a "reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses, as well as payment of labour is expected from funds from the Federal Centre of Medical Disasters".

The letter has a long list of medics it is looking for: trauma, heart, maxilofacial and paediatric surgeons, anaesthetists, radiologists, nurses (including for operating rooms) and infectious disease specialists. The letter shows the Russian Ministry of Health is clearly anticipating a major medical event in which doctors have to be drafted from across the country. The letter is signed by Deputy Health Minister Plutnitsky. This order from the Russian Ministry of Health has been issued as Russian forces reportedly advance on Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine.

I understand doctors were gathered together yesterday and told to ‘get ready.’ Today, the document from the Russian Health Ministry arrived. Ukraine invasion: What you need to know today Ukrainians head for Polish border where thousands stand ready to help

I am told this is highly unusual and almost unprecedented. After viewing the document, tonight a Ukrainian military official told me it could indicate that the medics are being drafted to assist with casualties from Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.

The military official indicated that one interpretation of the document is that Russia did not expect a level of resistance from Ukraine.

This would tally with reports from a senior US defence official who said today "there is greater resistance by Ukrainians than the Russians expected," and that Russia is not moving on Kyiv as fast as they anticipated and that Russia may have lost a "little bit of their momentum".

The only way to monitor the war seems to be civilian videos posted on instagram, facebook, etc...

Multiple videos of Russian troops in towns bordering Kiev proper.

D-day + 38 hours, and Russians are on the outskirts of Kiev. How much longer does Zelensky’s government have?

That’s old German tech, circa 1940s

“How much longer does Zelensky’s government have?”

The main question is: How much longer does Putin’s government have? Things are not going so well for ol’ Vlad; and he is looking more unhinged by the hour.

Zelensky may go under, but the Ukrainian people will continue to fight to stay free, something that your hero did not count on.

Here’s a bet: Putin falls before the Ukrainian people fall.

If you’d upload appendix listing the doctors they want, it includes pediatrists and others who are unrelated to battle casualties in the first place.

Did you read the article: "The letter has a long list of medics it is looking for trauma, heart, maxilofacial and paediatric surgeons, anaesthetists, radiologists, nurses (including for operating rooms) and infectious disease specialists."

Of course there's no love lost, it's more like the relationship between Hitler and Mussolini, they never really liked each other all that much. But Putin has to know, if Lukashenko goes, they come for him next.

“paediatric surgeons”

...can do general surgery. Better than a totally untrained guy being tasked to try.

You Russian hating trolls! Putin will be around long after that Nazi bunch of money laundering bunch of Biden conspirators are gone from the earth. Putin may not be a nice guy but he is not the arch criminal so many are trying to make him out to be.
