  I want to say that a Doctor should be treating anyone they can, but I wouldn't put it past Russia to purposely flood them with injured mercenaries as a result. I'll keep my opinions out of this one.
context: Due to the fact that most of them are carriers of such diseases as HIV/AIDS, syphilis, tuberculosis and pneumonia, local medics refuse to provide mercenaries with medical care."
  
  Tuberculosis,  and pneumonia aren't things I'd want that I'd  want in my prison system. >
  
  Clearly, especially considering the fact that preventing these diseases transmissions require rigorous measures and the active participation of the patient. You can't trust an ennemy on that really. >
  
  As much as  theHippocratic oath being a thing, if they lack material and financial means to treat patients (russian mercenaries at that) with tuberculosis and pneumococcus then they really shouldn't take any risk and allocate their means toward their own and civilians in priority. >

  What about the Hippocratic Oath?. >
  
  In 1973, the US Supreme Court rejected the oath as a guide to medical ethics and practice by stating that the oath is incapable of covering the latest developments and methods of medical practice and research >
  
  Makes sense. After all, sometimes the most ethical thing to do to a patient is to ease their passing by any means available, and “do no harm” would forbid any action that might hasten their death, including the administration of pain relieving drugs, much less assisted suicide. >
  
  I get it.
