A variety of hurt Russian soldiers are being returned to the frontlines in Ukraine without approval from the military medical commission, the Agentstvo investigative outlet reported Thursday.The governmental Human Rights Council is investigating cases in which servicemen didnt get appropriate medical treatment prior to being returned into fight, council member Olga Demicheva told the state-run RIA Novosti news company on Tuesday.

We learnt more about a circumstance when soldiers who received high-tech treatment and with suggestions for rehabilitation were right away sent to the front instead of rehab, Demicheva said.Valentina Melnikova, the secretary of Russias Committee of Soldiers Mothers, also validated to Agentstvo that some soldiers were not getting appropriate rehabilitation.

Russia has dealt with heavy casualties considering that invading Ukraine last February, and soldiers hurt in battle are entitled to state benefits including monetary compensation.Over 10,700 Russian soldiers have been eliminated in the almost 11 months considering that Moscow attacked Ukraine, according to a tally of confirmed military deaths kept by the BBC Russian Service and independent media outlet Mediazona.

Last September, Russia officially admitted to just 5,937 military deaths in Ukraine, while Western estimates put the figure at about 100,000.
