Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, hospitals in the cities of Homel, Mozyr, and Norovlya have begun to accept wounded Russian troops, and the morgues of these cities are receiving the dead.

Details: According to the newspaper, Belarusian medics signed a non-disclosure agreement with regard to this information. Some doctors were threatened with dismissal.

Sources confirm that the morgues in Mozyr and Homel are full of Russian corpses. Last week in Mozyr, they were immediately loaded onto Russian Railways trains.

"There was an unreal number of corpses! People at Mozyr station were simply shocked by the number of corpses loaded onto the train. People started filming, but the military caught them and ordered them to delete [the footage].

In the village of Kamyanka near Mozyr, the cemetery was fenced off, no-one was allowed in, and guards were posted there. They must have started burying Russians there. Especially considering that there is an airfield and a large Russian camp near Kamyanka," said a Mozyr resident.

Another source said that the hospital in Mozyr is still overcrowded with wounded Russians, who are cared for by all doctors, even specialists in other, unrelated fields.

At the same time, local residents cannot even get an X-ray there: they are being sent to the children’s hospital instead.

Homel residents said that there are buses full of wounded Russian soldiers, and trucks full of the dead.

"The trucks take their corpses to the airport, and from there, on to Russia," a Homel resident said.

Radyyo Svaboda also reports that wounded Russians have been treated at the Homel Centre for Radiation Medicine since the beginning of the war.

In addition, the wounded are taken to the hospital in Kostyukivka, to various emergency hospitals, and to the regional hospital.
