In his post on Telegram, opposition MP Oleksii Honcharenko bitterly complained that skilled medical professionals are being reassigned from military hospitals to combat roles in infantry units.

Daily reports he receives from military medics reveal they are to assault positions at the front line.

Honcharenko argue that the mobilization campaign is using the “Soviet methods,” with medics, many of whom perform critical surgeries to save wounded soldiers, find themselves in trenches  without proper combat training. By contrast, there are still many servicemen with combat experience, who keep handling paperwork in military recruitment centers.

“Medics are not just another combat unit; they are the frontline of survival for each soldier. What are you doing?” he concluded, calling for immediate reform.

Another immediate concern is  that Ukraine still hasn’t introduced six-month military contracts, a step the lawmaker believes could help manage personnel needs more effectively.
