In Kamchatka, the court announced the conviction to the military Kirill Antonov, who did not appear in the military unit, the press service of the 35th garrison military court said .
According to the court, Antonov did not appear in the military unit deployed in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and "for a long time" without good reason in the service.
In June, he was detained by employees of the military commandant’s office and returned to the unit. The court sentenced Antonov to three years in a general regime colony.
Earlier, the same court appointed the deadlines in the colony-settlement by two military personnel who refused to participate in the hostilities in Ukraine. On November 3, the court appointed 2 years and 3 months of a colony-settlement to the soldier Vladislav Kovalenko. Valery Ilyin received 2 years and 1 month in a colony on the same day. Both, being in the military units of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, refused to fulfill the commander’s order and go to Ukraine to participate in the hostilities.
Russian courts regularly pass the sentences to the military who left the military unit. Most often, these are real terms in the colony, sometimes conditional. Military lawyer Maxim Grebenyuk believes that the military for the "Samoil" began to be appointed in order to be able to send them to the combat zone to Ukraine.
In September 2022, Vladimir Putin signed the law on amendments to the Criminal Code, which increased the prison deadlines for leaving the place of service in conditions of military operations and mobilization. The first criminal case was opened in December 2022 in Murmansk.
