The city council posted a video where a resident, who came to Mariupol Hospital No. 1, talks about an "innovation" for insulin-dependent patients: to get the drug, you need to have a Russian passport.
Quote: "It is impossible to get help, vital treatment, get a job, or move freely without a passport. People have to choose – either get a document and have at least some rights, or die," Vadym Boichenko, the legally elected Mariupol Mayor, said.
Background: The situation with diabetes patients is critical in Mariupol, which is temporarily occupied by the Russians.
