A native of Kabardino-Balkaria, Albert Guchkakov, was sentenced to six years in prison. He was found guilty of leaving the unit's assembly point.

In addition, Soslan Alizov from North Ossetia, who was mobilized and took part in the war with Ukraine, received five and a half years in prison. He left the military unit and later appeared before the investigation. He explained his absence from work by caring for his wife, who suffers from chronic heart disease. The serviceman stated that the command knew about his whereabouts, but did not take measures to return.
