The enemy continues to use the network of civilian health care facilities in the temporarily occupied territories to treat their wounded soldiers and mercenaries from private military companies. In particular, in the city of Luhansk, wounded mercenaries of the Wagner Group [a Russian private military company loyal to Putin - ed.] are being treated on the territory of the city's venereology clinic."
