Court remands alleged instigator of unrest near Azov house in custody: Molodaya insists she is a medic

A court has remanded Valentina Molodaya — the alleged instigator of the unrest near the Azov house — in custody.

This is reported by the Strana website.

In court, Molodaya stated that she is a medic and that she came to the Azov house to free a man being held there.

According to Molodaya, she received a message from a woman — Tatyana Kireeva — who has also been detained. Kireeva said that her husband was being held in the basement of that house after an operation following which “his stoma was removed, that is, his intestine is hanging out,” but he is not being given medical care. Molodaya was told that this man was not alone there, “they are being tortured.”

Asked where she got the medical uniform, Molodaya stated that she owns the Prime clinic, which provides emergency medical care, and is its chief physician. According to her, she can perform “any duties” if necessary, including working on an ambulance.

“I can perform any duties if it concerns a person’s life and health. I took an oath to the people of Ukraine,” Molodaya stated as she was being led out of the courtroom.
