In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, a member of the "SVO" was sentenced to five years

The Nalchik Garrison Military Court found 26-year-old serviceman Gleb Babetsky guilty of evading military service. He was sentenced to five years in prison.

Babetsky served in the LPR. From January to May, he was absent from the military unit. The serviceman explained that the command granted him leave with a place of residence in St. Petersburg, but he lost his passport. Having received a new one, he decided to "take another rest in St. Petersburg and with his parents in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic."

Babetsky participated in the "SVO" from March to December 2023. For excessive rest, he was sentenced to five years in prison.

Earlier, the Nalchik Garrison Military Court found Junior Sergeant Asker Kochkarov guilty of evading military service. He was sentenced to five years in a penal colony.
