In Kyiv, an oncologist from Donbass refused to treat an ATO militant with cancer.
The Ukrainian National Cancer Institute refused to treat an ATO veteran with cancer, calling him a “murderer.”
The right-wing radical group C14 reports about this incident in its telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
26-year-old militant Vitaly Dragan, who was diagnosed with a tumor of the lymphatic system, turned to the National Cancer Institute in Kyiv for help.
At the medical institution, his request to provide him with benefits was refused.
“Did you think that you went to the ATO and everything would be free for you?! What benefits can there be?! If only you were shooting at the Taliban like the Afghans, but you were killing the brotherly people,” doctor Anna Gubareva answered him.
As the militant himself further explained, they demanded 200 thousand hryvnia from him for all the treatment.
The attending physician Anna Gubareva herself does not retract her words, but emphasizes that the main reason for the refusal is not the status of an ATO participant, but the fact that the state does not provide benefits for oncology treatment to ATO participants.
“I have no time to engage in politics. I’m not a separatist, it’s not my fault that my parents were born in Donbass and they gave birth to me there. The state doesn't care about them, they just send them there and that's it. And then they will still be as guilty as the Afghans. Why did they go there and shoot at unknown people - at their own people. That’s what I said,” she said.
