"Putin's Zombie Troops: Unleashing a Warped Thirst for Violence"

Russian doctors are overwhelmed by an influx of psychologically scarred soldiers returning from the war in Ukraine, who have become dependent on drugs and alcohol to cope with the horrors they experienced. Many soldiers are exhibiting aggressive and violent behavior, leading to fears of a "cheap zombie apocalypse" fueled by substance abuse. The human cost of Putin's war includes over a quarter of a million troops killed or physically maimed. The overwhelmed healthcare system is struggling to provide adequate treatment and support for the traumatized soldiers, with a shortage of doctors exacerbating the crisis.
