A resident of Dagestan who lost his leg in the "SVO" was outraged by the failure to provide medications
In the Dagestani Kizilyurt, Shamkhal Abdurazakov complained in a video filmed against the backdrop of the Central District Hospital about the impossibility of receiving the necessary medications. He demonstrated the absence of the leg that he lost in the "SVO" and addressed the President of the Russian Federation: "Vladimir Vladimirovich, what are we fighting for?!"
 
According to Abdurazakov, he is being asked to pay a bribe for the provision of medications. In addition, he has faced threats from the deputy prosecutor.
 
"I want to give him this prosthesis so that he can sell it and buy something for himself, he doesn't want to do without it. So I am giving him this prosthesis!" Abdurazakov said in the video.
 
After the video was distributed, the head of the Ministry of Health of Dagestan Yaroslav Glazov met with the veteran of the war with Ukraine. The department explained that since November 2024, the patient had been given potent drugs. However, exceeding the daily dose may lead to irreversible health consequences, as well as the possible transfer of a potent drug to third parties.

The 2026 World Press Freedom Index, published this morning by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), records the worst deterioration in global media freedom in 25 years. More than half of the world's countries rank the situation as "challenging" or "very challenging," and the average index level has never been lower. A key trend is increasing legal pressure on the media: of the five indicators used to assess press freedom worldwide (economy, law, security, politics, culture, and society), the "law" indicator showed the most significant decline.
