A Ukrainian doctor overseeing the treatment of patients at a mobile hospital in eastern Ukraine has revealed during a television interview that he has ordered the castration of captured Russian soldiers. Speaking to TV host Yevgeny Kiselyov on the Ukraine-24 news channel, Gennadiy Druzenko explained he had given strict orders to disfigure Russian prisoners of war, who he referred to as cockroaches.

‘I have always been a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy but a patient,’ Druzenko told viewers. ‘But now, [I have given] very strict orders to castrate all captured Russian men, because they are cockroaches, not people,’ he added.

Druzenko has worked with hundreds of medics at the First Voluntary Mobile Hospital established in eastern Ukraine in 2014, treating casualties of the ongoing conflict within the Donbass region. In a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Druzenko warned that Russians will die ‘in large numbers’ in Ukraine. ‘Those who [come here] will remember their nightmare on Ukrainian soil like the Germans remember Stalingrad,’ he added.

Druzenko is no stranger to Western media, and has appeared on CNN with Fareed Zakaria where he was hailed as an ‘intellectual.’ The headline-grabbing castration comment has been widely circulated on both Western and Russian social media, prompting even Ukrainian authorities to apologize for the comment and claim it was taken out of context, but it remains unclear how it was taken out of context.
