Sergey Nikolaenko, a dentist and owner of a medical production center for facial prostheses in Krasnoyarsk, said the state was not prepared to pay for the treatment of Russian army soldiers. In particular, the Russian authorities do not fund prosthetic surgeries.

Nikolaenko complained that the state does not fund complex maxillofacial operations. Now the doctor is helping two NWO soldiers with facial injuries that require prosthetics.

Artyom Tabakov lost his eye, and there is still a bullet in his skull that pierced his jaw. A year after the injury, he plugs the hole with gauze so that food does not enter the airways while eating. Yuri Volochaev’s bullet knocked out several teeth, tore out his lip and part of his nose. For both fighters, the money for the operation is raised with public funds.

  • In my opinion, we need funding through the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, that is, we need a fast funding mechanism. Now we are trying to get Artyom and Yuri through the Social Fund and get funds from there,” the doctor explained in a chat with NGS24.

Nikolaenko added that he was sorry for the state, because injured soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are undergoing rehabilitation in university clinics in Germany at the highest level. At the same time, LPR fighters, who gave their health to their homeland, have been waiting for their operations for a year.
