Minister of Health Viktor Lyashka claims that servicemen serving as medics are not transferred to assault brigades, and if such cases do exist, it is necessary to inform the command of the Medical Forces so that they respond appropriately. According to him, there were no orders for this from the commanders of the Ground Forces or the Medical Forces. He announced this on the air of the telethon, he reports UNN.

I, as a member of the government, have communication with the Minister of Defense, and last week the National Health Committee discussed the issue specifically of draft laws on MSEK, about mental health, and one of the questions was about what is happening, whether the facts are confirmed when doctors repurposed into Ground Forces and sent to assault brigades. Representatives of the command of the Medical Forces, who were at the committee, said that there are no such cases, and if they are found somewhere, then the command of the medical forces should be informed so that they can respond appropriately. There were no orders for this from the commanders of the Ground Forces or the Medical Forces
