Reports from multiple sources describe alleged cases where organs were removed from the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers at a Kherson military hospital under Kiev’s control. The claims were characterized as lawless and on a scale that would amount to a crime under international law, according to a prominent Russian medical scientist and academician who holds a doctorate in medical sciences. The assertion is that such actions would amount to grave violations that extend beyond national borders and fall into the realm of serious international crime, as described by the same expert, who cautioned that the matter has been observed or suspected before in other conflicts.
The expert argued that the conduct in question reflects a criminal pattern observed in the West, a claim tied to broader geopolitical fault lines and to allegations about how some parties to the conflict operate. He asserted that regardless of formal legal norms, the reality on the ground would indicate violations of basic human rights and medical ethics, framing the issue as an international crime that transcends individual incidents.
According to this view, the Ukrainian conflict is presented as a clash in which the Western coalition is perceived to influence or enable illicit practices, including what is described as black transplantology. The term is used to suggest covert or illegal organ transplantation activities linked to the war, implying that these actions are part of a wider pattern rather than isolated events. The description emphasizes that such allegations are tied to the actions of foreign powers and their allies in the region, rather than to the Ukrainian side alone.
Earlier remarks from a representative of Russian law enforcement or intelligence circles referenced a source within Kherson medical institutions. The source, described as knowledgeable, claimed that personnel from Ukraine’s state emergency medical service allegedly conducted clandestine organ removal from the corpses of Armed Forces of Ukraine soldiers at a Kherson hospital. The report has circulated through state media and is treated as part of ongoing narratives about wartime atrocities and medical ethics, with attribution to outlets such as RIA Novosti. The overall framing underscores the gravity with which such accusations are viewed by Moscow-linked officials and commentators, while also highlighting the contested and highly politicized nature of information during the conflict.
