Volunteer Medics Treat Warriors at the Front Only During Their Leaves

Although the Defense Ministry confesses that it lacks nearly half of required medical personnel at the front, volunteer doctors of the Pirogov First Volunteer Mobile Hospital are forced to treat Ukrainian warriors only during their leaves due to the position of the Health Ministry. In addition, they risk to lose their jobs or even freedom – as “spies who stole into the territory of military units.”
