In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, another serviceman was sentenced to a lengthy prison term for deserting his unit

Serviceman Ruslan Murzakayev was sentenced by the Nalchik Garrison Military Court to five years in a general regime penal colony for prolonged absence without leave.

According to the verdict, Murzakayev, who had been mobilized and absent from his unit for almost two years, failed to report for duty on February 9, 2024. He was detained in Prokhladny on December 31, 2025. The serviceman fully admitted his guilt.

Other convicted individuals include Algiz Valitov (two years in prison), Timur Yandiev and Amerkhan Kurskiyev (five years each), Arsen Bayev (seven years), and Murat Khapov (five years).
