WARNING: This story is not for the faint-hearted. A surgeon has revealed the true extent of Russian troops’ cruelty, which includes stuffing toys belonging to Ukrainian children, with explosives, in a sick attempt to kill as many families as possible.
Oleksandr Yatsyna, who treated some of the wounded in the capital Kyiv, reckons the barbaric act is meant to break the resistance of the Ukrainian population.
It has been more than a month since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an offensive on neighbouring Ukraine, sending hundreds of thousands of troops to attack key structures.
The situation has evolved into a humanitarian crisis as more than 3.5 million people were forced to flee their homes for neighbouring countries. There is now more outrage as shocking images have been doing the rounds on social media, showing the bodies of Ukrainian civilians believed to have been killed by Russian troops, in and around the capital Kyiv.

Speaking to The Times, Yatsyna said he basically lives in the hospital to be near his Ukrainian patients – many who have voiced their trauma, at the hands of the Russian soldiers. He told the publication that some of the stories he heard from survivors will likely haunt him forever.
“First we had the catastrophic injuries from the bombs, then the shooting, next the mines scattered along the roads but worst of all are the stuffed toys filled with explosives. They are targeting families. Be in no doubt, the Russians are determined to kill our civilians and children too,” he said.
Yatsyna also couldn’t share which hospital he was staying at in Ukraine as he fears Russian troops could target it.
“When they hit the maternity facility in Mariupol I couldn’t believe it, that was my turning point. Now I know they will attack any of us. Doctors and vulnerable patients, unable to flee, are prime targets,” he told the publication.
