At the same time, medical facilities located in the occupied territory of the Luhansk region also need general practitioners, such as physicians and surgeons.
At the same time, according to ZMINA’s sources, hospitals for participants in the war against Ukraine are being opened here instead of narrow-profile hospitals and hospital departments. In particular, in Dovzhansk, the ophthalmology department now treats wounded Russian occupiers and pro-Russian terrorists.
Earlier, ZMINA reported that in the third year of the Russian occupation, there is a staff shortage in the field of education in Zaporizhzhia region, and the occupied schools are half-empty. Most children who are forced to live under occupation study online in Ukrainian schools.
