A Major Health Crisis is Hitting Russia [View all]

Something that will effect Putin's war efforts.

1.25 million Russians are infected with HIV/AIDS, that is 1 per every 100 Russian, and it is believed that number is much higher.

You see, Putin uses the Krasnov method to deal with an epidemic, he denies there is a problem in Russia.

Russia is the #1 country in Europe with HIV infections, Russia is 3.9% of the infections worldwide.

Putin has banned international aid to stem HIV, Putin has no program to make needle sharing safer. The HIV infections are moving into the general population; the % of pregnant women with HIV has surpassed 1%.
