A proposed law has been filed with Ukraine’s Supreme Rada to prohibit the use of organs taken from citizens who were killed in armed conflicts. The report was shared by the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian outlet Strana.ua.
The draft includes provisions that extend beyond police powers, addressing personnel from military formations and law enforcement agencies, or any units, institutions, or organizations that died while performing duties during the conflict.
The explanatory note accompanying the bill argues that the measure aims to prevent potential abuses, misinformation, and propaganda from adversaries by safeguarding information integrity.
In May, RIA Novosti reported claims that medical personnel at a Kherson hospital secretly removed organs from soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The development follows broader discussions within Ukraine and abroad about ethical standards, medical autonomy, and the handling of war-related casualties under wartime conditions.
