In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, a member of the "SVO" was sentenced to five years for temporarily failing to appear at a military unit in Ukraine

The Nalchik Garrison Military Court found mobilized Amir Liyev guilty of evading military service and sentenced him to five years in prison.

According to investigators, the serviceman did not return to his unit in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine after a vacation granted in November 2023. In May 2024, he voluntarily arrived at the military commandant's office in Mozdok, since "he had no intention of evading service at all."

Amir Liyev explained that he was unable to return from vacation on time, since the court sentenced his wife to a real prison term for "fictitious registration of a foreign citizen." He had to stay home to care for his young son.

When sentencing, the court took into account that the defendant was raised in a complete family, has a positive characterization, and is a combat veteran.
