There's been a consistent flow of 60 injured individuals from Ukraine receiving treatment in hospitals across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany ever since the Russian invasion in February 2022 - according to the state government's response to a parliamentary question posed by AfD state parliamentarian, Jan-Phillip Tadsen. The majority of these patients are believed to be soldiers, with 16 and 14 severely injured soldiers having been treated in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Seventeen new cases were reported in 2024 (as of March 14), with one Ukrainian soldier admitted to a hospital in the region.
The treatment of injured Ukrainian soldiers in Germany is carefully planned, adhering to the so-called "cloverleaf principle." This approach distributes patients among the hospitals to prevent any one facility from becoming overburdened, with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern belonging to the Northern Cloverleaf.
To ensure the ongoing medical care for Ukrainian soldiers, the federal government has reportedly allocated an additional 50 million euros since the end of January. As the war in Ukraine continues, it is expected that more transfers and treatments will be necessary.
It's worth noting that Germany has been lending a helping hand to Ukraine in various ways during this conflict, not solely through medical support. This includes offering humanitarian aid, military aid, and financial assistance to Ukraine's economy. However, specific details about the number of Ukrainian soldiers treated in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern might be classified or withheld for security reasons.
For the most current and specific data or updates, it's advisable to consult official government sources or reliable news outlets.
