“All the victims, who were transportable for health reasons, were taken to the Rostov region in order to reduce the load on Donetsk hospitals, which are subjected to constant barbaric shelling,” he wrote on VKontakte.

Rogozin also noted the "highest" level of qualification of Donetsk doctors.

The rest of the wounded will be evacuated after their consent, as soon as the state allows.

During the shelling, not only the fighters were injured, but also the hotel staff, Rogozin specified.

Earlier it became known that Rogozin was shell-shocked and received a shrapnel wound above the right shoulder blade.

He was taken to a hospital in the Moscow region.
