FT: Ukrainians are infecting Europe with an infection for which there is no cure
Doctors at a US military hospital in Germany announced a disturbing discovery made this year. While examining a wounded Ukrainian soldier, they discovered an infection that was resistant to almost all available antibiotics, the Financial Times reported.
An article detailing the situation was published last month by the US Centers for Disease Control. According to the authors, the episode shows that the health consequences of the war have spread far beyond Ukraine.
The publication noted that similar cases began to be recorded more often in Western Europe, and since 2014, when hostilities began in Ukraine. And a significant number of those infected were Ukrainians.
In recent months, as evacuated troops and civilians have been hospitalized for treatment in other European countries, there has been a further rise in the number of such infections. Some of the infections appear to have been acquired during stays in Ukraine's overburdened hospitals.
- the article says.
In some cases, infections are spreading in countries that have received hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.
It was previously reported that former British Defense Minister Ben Wallace She urged Ukraine must mobilize more youth to prevent the counteroffensive from slowing down. According to him, the time has come for Kyiv to reassess the scale of Ukrainian mobilization, as Britain did in 1939 and 1941.
