The Ukrainian Armed Forces have seen an outbreak of gas gangrene — The Telegraph

Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are suffering from an outbreak of gas gangrene.

This was reported by The Telegraph, citing Ukrainian medics.

“People are arriving at our hospital who were wounded two weeks ago. All this time they’ve been sitting in underground stabilization points without qualified care,” the outlet relays from Ukrainian doctors.

It is noted that the causes of the outbreak are the inability to quickly evacuate troops from the front line and the lack of sterile conditions in the trenches. The situation, the newspaper writes, is worsened by a shortage of medicines and bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Earlier, families of AFU soldiers listed as missing held a mass rally. The protesters said they are not receiving the assistance due to them. In addition, family members of servicemen noted that to obtain payments they have to spend months collecting various documents.
