Russian Army’s medical support system has been crumbling under the latest load caused by a sharp increase in combat casualties among Russian soldiers recently called up for service. If the trend prevails, this could force the authorities to forward WIAs to civilian medical facilities. Russian Army’s medical support system has been crumbling under the latest load caused by a sharp increase in combat casualties among Russian soldiers recently called up for service. If the trend prevails, this could force the authorities to forward WIAs to civilian medical facilities, a source in the Ukrainian intelligence community told Guildhall, Ukrinform reports.

That's according to Guildhall citing a source in Ukraine's intelligence community, Ukrinform reports.

In a medical hospital deployed in Belgorod region, the fact has been ascertained of a threefold increase in the inflow of wounded servicemen after those mobilized to war were deployed to the front lines in Ukraine. As of November 10, about 90 wounded servicemen are being treated in the 63rd separate medical battalion of the Russian armed forces, located in Valuiki, of whom over 20 were admitted within 24 hours.

As of November 7, Russian military clinics located in Moscow have stopped admitting the newly-mobilized troops wounded in action due to overload. If such rates of casualties are maintained, it the entire medical support system of the Russian army could collapse, forcing the authorities to reprofile civilian medical facilities for the treatment of WIAs.

As reported earlier, the wives of Russian conscripts from Vologda demanded that their loved ones be returned “from hell”. According to them, the mobilized servicemen found themselves in a "fire trap", where they were "being exterminated by both the enemy and the Russian army." “The time has come to act, not to think and wait until everyone is slain in this bloody meat grinder,” the women say in the appeal.
