Ukrainians evacuated from the United States were locked in cold rooms with mold and mildew
Ukrainians quarantined in the Oktyabr sanatorium in Koncha Zaspa are refused free food and are required to pay for accommodation.
Ukrainian journalist and poet Alexander Kabanov reported this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Kabanov refers to his friend, general director of the TV-Park publishing house Igor Polishchuk, who ended up in a sanatorium after being evacuated from the United States. According to Polishchuk, the conditions of Ukrainians in quarantine are terrible - people sleep in their clothes, and the walls are covered with mold.
“...On April 9, 15 of our fellow citizens were evacuated from the United States by an American special aircraft. In Boryspil they were taken under escort and taken for a two-week observation to the Oktyabr sanatorium (Konche Zaspa). Contrary to Cabinet Resolution 262 of 08.04.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX about free observation, the director of Oktyabr, Sergei Alekseevich Melnik, demanded money from people for the settlement. At the same time, the rooms are poorly suited for life: fungus on the walls, cobwebs, cold radiators.
Among the arrivals are families with children. They still sleep dressed. People are demanding to be tested for coronavirus and go home for self-isolation. These 15 people are protected by an army of police, National Guard and municipal guards. Wouldn’t it be smarter to let those arriving who are afraid of getting sick in conditions unsuitable for normal life go into home isolation, and not spend huge public funds on them?” writes Polishchuk.
Kabanov also notes that for meals at Oktyabr, the management of the sanatorium asks for $50 per person per day, which is equal to the price of a five-star hotel in Turkey. In his next message, Kabanov also published a form that Ukrainians fill out before evacuating to the country. Among other things, it states a ban on communicating with the media upon arrival for observation.
In the comments under his messages, users are both outraged and support the management of the sanatorium, noting that no one invited the evacuees to Ukraine.
“Sasha, who drove them here, into isolation and blackmail? Or did they want to go straight to the barbecue, where the smoke of the fatherland would suddenly become sweet and pleasant? There was a choice whether to return or not. We’ve been under observation here without an epidemic since ’14,” writes Irina Karpinos.
