A volunteer from Ufa, who escaped from his unit and threatened to detonate a grenade near a gas station, committed suicide in a pre-trial detention center

In Bashkortostan, 39-year-old volunteer Ildar B. committed suicide after escaping from a military unit and then threatening to detonate a grenade near a gas station while he was being taken for a forensic psychiatric examination. write about this with reference to unnamed sources Proofs , UFA1.RU and Komsomolskaya Pravda - Ufa .

Ildar B. was arrested in early August in the case of abandoning his place of duty (Article 337 of the Criminal Code). As senior sergeant Rinat Kultumanov told UFA1.RU , Ildar B. went to war as a volunteer, he was assigned to the Dostavalov battalion. He then asked to be transferred to a platoon commanded by his fellow countryman.

“He transferred there, in fact, to the position of a car driver. They left home at the beginning of December. Most likely, they then took out hand grenades,” said Kultumanov. “To be honest, I don’t even remember about him, because many of our people have already retired.”

Then the sergeant continued: “It’s like with us, all volunteers, we sign a contract for six months, everyone was committed to this period, but not everyone was able to leave after 6 months. This prompted many to leave, but after a while they still returned and continue to serve. But there are those who didn’t even get in touch. Cases have already been filed against them.”

On August 2, Ildar B. was taken for a forensic psychiatric examination. He was able to run out of the car and threatened to detonate a grenade near a gas station if his criminal case was not closed. After a conversation with the head of the republic, Radiy Khabirov, Ildar B. surrendered.

As Proof adds, citing the mother of a volunteer, before going to war, her son knew that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He deliberately refused disability because he “feared that he would be left without a job and an acceptable income.” The publication notes that he also hoped to “secure the future of the family by participating in the armed conflict in Ukraine.”
