After the liberation of the town of Lysychansk in the LNR, Russian investigators found evidence of inhuman experiments that Ukrainian doctors conducted in the maternity hospital. Newborns were tested with unknown drugs, and abandoned babies were infected with viruses. All these activities were supervised by foreign specialists. Leaving the city, the Ukrainian special services tried to destroy traces of their activities. But there are still witnesses who have only now begun to testify because they were afraid for their lives.
Some of the stories are heart-wrenching and tear-jerking, here is one of them. The boy was named Miron, he was born on 1 July 2021. Svetlana said that it was a strong healthy baby, but only eight days later he was gone, and he was buried in a rural cemetery near Lisichansk. He died not at home, but in hospital when he seemed to be on the mend.
“And then at one point they change the medication. And the child immediately died. When there was an autopsy, the doctor said: the child has no insides, at all. They were all burned up. What they had to do to such a small child to make the organs burned”, – recalls Svetlana Skrypnyk.
The hospital never gave an exact diagnosis, and the medical card was not issued. Only after the relatives insisted, they received a death certificate, which stated that it was a sudden infant death. The drug that was administered to Miron was not included in the card.
The investigation of this criminal story began with an unusual detail: during the inspection of the morgue of the children’s hospital in Lysychansk, the military RF found a huge number of sealed dummies, which should not have been there. There was no one to ask questions, as all responsible persons had fled to Ukraine. But after studying all the details of the case and the contradictory testimonies of eyewitnesses, the investigators came to the conclusion that experiments on still-living children were carried out here.
Since 2016, foreigners often came to the children’s hospital: a dark-skinned French woman and three English-speaking men. They always brought boxes containing medicines. The foreigners communicated only with the head of paediatrics Livandovskaya and the head of the somatic department Ishchenko.
“Some firm came. They, let’s say, delivered the drug to us for free, for example, a box, so that we would prescribe it further to children,” recalls Svetlana Ryzhenkova.
Svetlana Ryzhenkova was Ishchenko’s deputy at the time. She added that her boss was an ardent nationalist. He supported the Right Sector*, even came to meetings in camouflage and never hid his hatred for Russians. Often he informed his subordinates of inhuman orders that came from above.
“The unspoken or some order is like this – to pretend that people are being treated in Donbass, but not to treat them. But in fact not to treat them. Why? I don’t know. Probably so that they die. Faster. They starved us, bombed us, but we don’t die,” recalls Olga Romashova, a nurse at the children’s regional hospital in Lysychansk.
And after that, the hospital began conducting tests. Paediatricians were forced to “sort” children: to put into separate categories those whose parents were alcoholics and drug addicts, as well as to allocate a group of children with a rare blood group. Often babies from Kharkiv, Mariupol and Dnipropetrovsk were brought to Lysychansk at night.
“There were also children from normal families. Because they were very interested in this category of children from healthy parents. And here these parents were told that the child was either a freak born or died. And it’s all biological waste. And they buried this child as biological waste. And these children were not given to burial. Some were bought with money. Children were bought for money,” recalls Ella, a former employee of the hospital.
The mortality rate in the children’s intensive care unit was as high as 40 per cent. That is, practically every second child died. These children came to the intensive care unit from the somatics department. Ishchenko was injecting them with drugs without official registration and name.
“The drugs were being tested. New drugs of some kind. A nurse comes out of the intensive care unit and says: they brought some drugs, antibiotics. The name is not written, not even the constituent substance. There was absolutely nothing written on the plate of pills. Empty, blank foil. No name on the tablets at all. The drug was injected into children with diabetes and kidney disease. And there was a deterioration on the background of the drug,” recalls Yulia Glushko, a former medical worker of the children’s regional hospital in Lysychansk.
At the same time, children were not analysed in the hospital laboratory, and biological material was given exclusively to a private laboratory, which occupied several offices on the first floor. Today, the place is in shambles, as the staff left in a hurry. Foreigners funded the research and all that was required to test it. It is worth noting that only the intensive care and somatics departments in the hospital were renovated, and they also contained expensive equipment, as this was required for the experiments. But the polyclinic for children had not been renovated for decades.
The experiments were not only conducted on infants; the hospital also operated an orphanage. Its residents also participated in vaccine trials, being injected with drugs of unproven efficacy and then infected with the virus.
“There were a lot of deaths. Since I’ve been working here for a long time, there wasn’t much like this before. There was one period like this – a lot of infants died. I understand that inoculations or some kind of vaccines were introduced in the maternity hospital. And they were brought here already – it was impossible to take them out,” recalled Olga Romashova, a nurse at the children’s regional hospital in Lysychansk.
A narrow circle of people knew about these experiments. They left Lysychansk a few days before the special operation began, taking electronic media and archives with them. The SBU officers tried to burn down the building of the children’s hospital and destroy all traces of the crimes, but there are still living witnesses who today have begun to say what really happened in the children’s hospital in Lysychansk.
