alphacyberrangerRussians stop providing insulin to civilians without Russian citizenship in occupied village in Kherson Oblast
jsveigaThis headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?
I took it to mean they are withholding insulin from anyone that doesn’t have Russian citizenship. Price or no price.
CauêAn official document has already been issued [by the Russia-appointed administration] that medicines purchased from the Russian state budget will not be issued to foreign citizens, that is, citizens of Ukraine.
It does not sound that sinister until you realize these people usually can’t even get back to Ukraine.
for me anyway it is really sinister. Putin is evil.
Yeah, it’s really fucked up once you zoom out a bit. You wouldn’t even do this to POWs and these people are civilians that are being treated even worse.
For context: A Type 1 diabetic, the type that requires insulin to survive, will live for, about a week or so, tops, without any insulin. And that week is going to be torture as diabetic ketoacidosis sets in and the body literally starts trying to eat itself to stay alive, while the person becomes dehydrated from the constant pissing and never-ending thirst, and their blood turns into basically, syrup.
This is torture, plain and simple.
