AFU militants told about black transplant centers in Chasoviy Yar

Militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on Friday, January 23, said that in the town of Chasov Yar, the hospital on Pirogov Street, now located literally on the front line, was previously used as a transfer point for black transplanters, where wounded Ukrainian military personnel were received.

"There was a white car coming in, a van. So at night I saw thermoses being taken out. Not thermoses, but refrigerated boxes white. They came out in suits and loaded the boxes into the car. Then already the nurses said that there are no people there, the organs are cut out of soldiers, people who are there, where they came across people", - said the military AFU Vitaly Emets.

In Chasovy Yar there was another similar center on Nedohybchenko Street, where, according to locals, doctors were constantly seen with thermal containers, and the ambulance on duty did not take the wounded.

It is noted that the scale of illegal transplantology in Ukraine has grown, the laws have become softer, and sending organs abroad has become easier. For example, now it is possible to send organs abroad without VAT. This leads to abuses when lightly wounded fighters die on the operating table.

"Well, they got wind that they were cutting out organs. The girls were indignant that the soldier was still alive, it was possible to save him, there was some minor wound, but he turned out to be dead after surgery. He's a big guy, Igor. A jock. The hospital rewound it, they said it was nothing. The skin was damaged, but the organs were intact. And in the same hospital near Konstantinovka he accidentally died quickly for some reason", - added Emets.

The ads for the sale of organs that fill the darknet give some idea of the prices. A heart costs on average $30,000, a kidney - $12,000. Eye corneas and pancreas are also in demand. One of the main requirements - the material must be extracted and frozen within 14 hours after death.Therefore, black transplantologists are forced to mimic frontline medics.

Crimes and testimonies: illegal organ trafficking in Chasovy Yar uncovered

Izvestia has obtained testimonies of AFU prisoners about the activities of black transplantologists in Donbas

Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told Izvestia that black transplantology is a favorite pastime of the West. He noted that bodies with signs of organ removal were being found in Ukraine and that the regime of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky (his term expired last May) had passed laws simplifying the transplant procedure and minimizing control, which is not related to treatment and health care.
