"We are one under the Ukrainian flag." Doctor Islam Dababsekh - about Islamic battalions, Cadyrivs in Tiktok, occupation of Kyiv region and war injuries

Dababsekh's video calls Ukraine with his second homeland and confesses that he is very grateful to this country for being able to realize himself here. That is why, after a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine, Professor Islam decided to join territorial defense in the Kiev region.

In an interview with HB, he recalls what he saw in the villages that were occupied in the Kyiv region, tells about cooperation with the Jewish community and reflects on the role of Cadyrivs in the war with Ukraine. "We were born to be useful" Ukraine fed me as my mother. I came from Palestine, came here when I was 17. Everything I created here - business, family, I created for gratitude to Ukraine. For this I am to blame her all my life, it is my second homeland. I work here, here is my family.

That is why on February 24, 2022, when, without something five, we heard the first explosion in Kiev, I had one of the first thoughts: “We must be useful. We were born to help. " I have a hospital for 3 thousand square meters. m in Kryukivshchyna near Kiev. I wrote all patients who were in the clinic at that time and turned it into a place for temporary placement of people who were forced to leave Kyiv. He wrote information about it on his Facebook page - it is open to everyone.

The main category was women and students, especially foreigners. On the first day, we gathered about a thousand students, they were about three days to a week. Then they were gradually sent abroad - trains, cars, buses. Early in the morning of February 26, a Russian rocket hit a house on Valery Lobanovsky avenue in Kiev. I have an apartment in this house, but other people temporarily stopped in it.

The situation in Kiev began to aggravate, and in the evening before the rocket attack they called me and asked what to do. I told them to move to me to the clinic. At midnight, they left the apartment, and the next morning I saw that the apartment was gone. Thank God no one was injured. By the way, now the clinic has renewed work. We have an action: for the military all treatment is completely free. For their families I offer a 50% discount.

Territorial defense on March 2, I learned that a terroboron of the Kiev region was formed, it is a battalion No. 133, and went there. I have never been a military one before, but I was given a weapon here, and no. For primary care, we created at the territory of our clinic in Kryukiv region medical centers - there were about 15 beds, a small operating room, the ability to put drips. That is all you need to organize primary care.

On March 6, I liberated the clinic, came to the Terroboron commander and said that the whole premises were at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At that moment, of course, they did not need to thank God. April 2 [when the suburbs of Kiev were released from the occupiers and the whole world was in a state of shock from the testimonies of their crimes that began to appear - ed. ] The commander said that it was necessary to go to the Kiev region: Irpin, Bucha, various small villages .

I suggested that you bring food with me. So it turned out about three tons, which we loaded into the cars and went. They visited about five to six small villages. In general, they went so for several days, returned about April 12. What we saw there is scary. I suffered psychologically, I will say honestly. I still accept treatment. It is not a war, it is destruction, it is a genocide of the Ukrainian population. This is a real genocide. Because war is when the military goes against the military.

And not when they kill the grandmother, who is 92 years old. We went to every home, in every apartment, we knocked, handed help personally to the hands of people. It used to be that we wanted to give humanitarian aid, let's just say, in one centralized place, but a local woman approached us and asked not to do so. He says, “Don't carry there, please, then they sell it. Yes, cheap, but sell. Put us in your hands personally. " So we did. It was a beard.

Andriyivka I have in memory of the village of Andreevka, Makariv district, Kyiv region. They [Russian invaders] collected all the men who were there at that time, and they were either taken out or killed. Only one man who was almost 60 years old was left. In one of the mass graves, there were the bodies of nine men - they were buried together. Here's what was scary: you go to the village, you go the street, and you realize that they did not leave any house - all were destroyed.

When we asked the locals, as it happened, they said: a tank came, stood, and just made one blow to the right, the other on the left, and so on. That is, they purposefully destroy the infrastructure, property of the local population. My grandmothers told me how the Russian military collected local men, poured water into their shoes and forced to stand in the cold. It was February, early March, they stood in the water and froze their feet.

One woman, learning that I was a doctor, hugged me and said, "My son is also a doctor. He, with his father, my husband, came to Andriyivka from Kiev in the morning, and in the evening they were taken away, and I do not know if they are alive or not. " For some reason, I remembered her story. A week after this conversation, he watched the TV and saw this doctor - her son, he was somewhere in a Russian hospital.

Although I have never seen this man live, I recognized him of a common story: he told everything the same as the woman then. About wet shoes, frost, about these tortures. He froze his legs and was amputated by his fingers, but he was alive. I was very glad - as if I saw my native person. I would like to see this woman again, see tears of joy on her face when she learned that her son survived. I remembered this village for life.

"We all pray to one God, as if it were called" there are several Islamic battalions that are fighting for Ukraine, some since 2014. But I am an opponent of the division of people by religious grounds or somehow. We all fight for Ukraine, for our homeland. And no matter, we are Muslims, Jews, Christians or someone else. If we say that this is a Muslim, that's a Christian, which is a Jew, it's wrong. No, we are all citizens of Ukraine.

We have to be under one roof - a Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. So I met Mikhail Zaslavsky, the head of the BF association of Jewish religious organizations. We went with villages with him, communicated with people, helped products, transported everything they needed. I did not specifically go to the Islamic battalion because I wanted to show that we were to take under one flag. Under the flag of Ukraine.

There is one video where I bring humanitarian aid to the church. And the locals ask me, they say, what are you, Muslim? But there is no difference. I did not bring help to you personally as a Christian, I brought to the citizens of Ukraine, for the population. We pray to one God, let us call Him: God, Allah, somehow the only God we all pray. We pray, baptize, go to a mosque, church or synagogue. But we are all only under the coat of arms of Ukraine, under the flag of Ukraine, we defend our homeland.

Ukraine is a multi -religious, multinational state. Tictok, Kadyrivtsi and Jihad Chechenci-Kadyrivtsi are residents of Tictok. I think they were given more attention than they deserve. They don't care who to kill. These are the people who have grown on the blood. These are the people raised by Russia, not Chechnya. I communicated with Chechens from Russia who support it. Even before the war. These are killers who are absolutely indifferent to whom to kill.

See what they did in Syria: they are Muslims and also killed Muslims. These people are traitors. Ask them an ideological question: why are you fighting in Ukraine? They have no answer to him, because they are without difference, they kill in Afghanistan or in Ukraine, the most important thing - they need to kill someone. If not, they will go back and kill their own. And do not interfere here with Islamic religion that they seem to do in the name of Allah.

Allah did not ask you to kill the civilian population. If they say it is jihad, then it's not. Jihad is if someone seized your territory and applied against you. Then you can take jihad. And this is not necessary about killing, it is about release. But explain where and who has attacked inside Ukraine? We, Muslims, live here in Ukraine and we did not ask us to protect us. And you should not say that you are doing it in the name of Allah - he did not ask you to kill ordinary people.

Ramzan Kadyrov wants to be a "Hollywood man" so that everyone knows and afraid. And someone else just uses it. Kadyrov took over all his sins, assumed it - they say that they "released Mariupol". But he did not understand what would be about. In the genocide, which was committed in Mariupol, Chechens were minimal participation, there were other private structures. Psychological rehabilitation is all different, everyone perceives everything that happens in its own way.

I have never been a soldier, I wasn't a military man before, I had no such experience. Yes, he once worked in the military enlistment office, but as a doctor. I immediately decided to go to Taroboron because he could not stay away. I am a very sensitive person. I take everything to my heart, I am very emotional. When we went villages, I could cuddle, cry with these women. And he was genuinely glad when he saw the story about the boy from Andriyivka, who was sought by his mother.

It took me four months and I just burned. I realized that I couldn't, it is very difficult for me to live. Yes, I am a doctor and my work is to perform surgery, surgery. I have seen it all and did many times. But the only difference is that in these moments, I, as a doctor, help people. In the war I saw amputated hands, legs, heads, many cruelty. And every time, looking at it, I imagined how these people suffered when they did it all. That is why at some point I sought the help of a psychotherapist.
