Doctors Without Borders said Tuesday it has closed its operations in Russia after 32 years, citing a Justice Ministry letter that said the medical aid group had been removed from a register of foreign nongovernmental organizations.
So, I guess they're Doctors with a couple of Borders now.
You don't even have to read the article. OP put it right there in the post.
the medical aid group had been removed from a register of foreign nongovernmental organizations.
Russia was getting ready to outlaw them. It would have been a danger for them to keep personnel in the country, leaving them exposed to being kidnapped and used as currency for prisoner exchanges.
There's a chance you're joking but I know for a fact there are people here who will take this seriously.
Joking or not, it is accurate.
Looks like there are some borders!
Lol jk it makes sense, if I did any kind of business in the area I'd have bailed long ago, I just couldn't resist the joke.
Is joke. Joke is acceptable.
Because Russia will kidnap the doctors from western countries and claim they’re spies hoping for a trade off for some of their legitimately war lord and assassin prisoners held in the west
My first thought that they would be drafted and sent to the front lines as medics, but that would assuming too much planning and compassion of Russia.
Is russias medical infrastructure so poor that they need this kind of assistance? I could guess maybe their war is stretching resources so thin. But this says 32 years they’ve been there. That’s like almost as far back as the end of the USSR.
I wonder if they had been assisting in treating soldiers wounded in this war.
Russia removed them from their list of foreign NGOs. That puts their personnel directly at risk. They didn't really have much of a choice.
Yeah fuck Russia
