the court passed a severe punishment — Ukraine

The man was sentenced to five years and one month in prison for desertion.

A resident of the Chernivtsi region was sentenced to five years in prison for going to the SZCH (voluntarily leaving the unit) and not showing up for duty for a whole year.

This is reported by “Glavkom” with reference to the court's decision.

Ihor M. was mobilized in March 2023. His ex-wife, with whom the man still lived at that time, said that a month after the mobilization, returning home with the child after visiting her sister, she found her ex-husband at home. He said that he went to the SZCH.

All year Ihor M. lived with his ex-wife and child, went to work and earned money for the family. The accused's stepmother informed the court that the stepson “came home, did not hide from anyone, worked.” Only a year later, on April 3, 2024, he was detained by law enforcement officers.
