Zayatullaev was detained for trying to "cross the border bypassing the checkpoint." "During a personal search, Zayatullaev found a certificate of a participant in the civilian formation" Asker ", the border control said in a message.

Young people are generally worried about the fact that they could not get home, they cannot live without Crimea. I even sent him from Jongar to Kalanchak at some point (checkpoints on the demarcation line with the peninsula-ed.). He stayed there for some time, but then he decided to go home, he was waiting for his mother.

Islyamov suggested that Zayatullaev could have lured. "The story is similar to Chechnya. They draw the children of those who resist. I think that my mother called this guy and asked to return. They go to visit the families of children who somehow resist, talk with their parents to persuade the children to return home," said Islyamov.
