In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, a serviceman was sentenced to five years for abandoning his military unit

The Nalchik Garrison Military Court found serviceman Akromat Bersanov-Tsaroyev guilty of leaving his unit without leave (Part 5, Article 337 of the Russian Criminal Code). He was sentenced to five years and one month in prison.

According to the case file, on April 15, 2025, during mobilization, Bersanov-Tsaroyev failed to report for duty at his military unit located in the Tver Region without a valid excuse.
The court found that from April 15 to June 20, 2025, Bersanov-Tsaroyev remained at his place of residence and evaded military service, spending his time as he saw fit.

The defendant pleaded guilty and expressed regret for his actions. The court also took into account that the serviceman had previously been convicted by two courts in Ingushetia for other crimes for which he had not served his sentence.

Taking into account the partial accrual of unserved time from previous convictions, Bersanov-Tsaroev's final sentence was five years and one month imprisonment in a general regime penal colony.
