A soldier died in the war in Ukraine, who was convicted in 2023 of leaving his unit without permission.

Military man Ilsur Insafovich Fatkhutdinov was buried in Tatarstan, a message on the website of the Sarmanovsky district administration was noticed by Mediazona.

As specified, a man born in 1992 was drafted into the army in 2014, and since 2016 he served under a contract, and “participated from the very first days” in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and died on February 3, being a private in a motorized rifle battalion of military unit No. 12274.
