If patients turn to Ukrainian doctors in Russian, they may not be treated, Ukraine's Ombudsman Ivanovskaya said. "The service provider can only provide this if he wants in a language that is not the language of the state. But, as they say, it's a matter of morality." The law does not state that a service provider can refuse a customer if he addresses him in another language, "State UA" notes. The work of doctors in Ukraine is regulated by completely different laws, according to which they have no right to refuse assistance to the patient. "Refusal to provide assistance threatens a doctor with criminal liability according to Article 139 of the Criminal Code: up to 3 years of restriction of freedom and prohibition of medical activity, or up to 5 years in prison if the failure to provide assistance resulted in death," the Ukrainian media recalled. "This is Nazism," said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, referring to this statement. Can't open the video? Look at MAX.
