Ukraine: Russian troops running low on medicine

A spokesperson for the Ukrainian army said Russian troops were running out of medicine and medical personnel, while they struggled to deal with an influx of injured soldiers.

Oleksandr Shputun, the spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said Russia had established field hospitals in parts of the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

He also said Russian forces were continuing to attack major Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, Izyum and Mariupol.

"Due to significant losses of personnel and equipment, field hospitals and military equipment repair facilities have been established on the temporarily occupied parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. With the constant influx of wounded soldiers from the army of the Russian Federation, the hospitals of the occupiers are experiencing a shortage of qualified medical personnel. In addition, the enemy has problems with medicine stocks, the replenishment of which is practically not possible. The repairs of enemy equipment are carried out without a steady supply of spare parts and units."
