    I took it to mean they are withholding insulin from anyone that doesn’t have Russian citizenship. Price or no price.

      The article does say free insulin paid by the government. We have that in my country (Brazil), even for foreigners, but my first thought was that in the USA not even citizens get that.

      An official document has already been issued [by the Russia-appointed administration] that medicines purchased from the Russian state budget will not be issued to foreign citizens, that is, citizens of Ukraine.
