“What a ridiculous figure of several hundred thousand fines or imprisonment for 5 years?

That is, we will give the evaders a wonderful opportunity to sit out in a cell while our brave and fearless guys risk their lives on the front line?”

Kadyrov wrote on Telegram.

In his opinion, punishment options for evaders should be put forward by "soldiers and officers who are now on the front line."

“We need to calculate what kind of assistance the evader received from the state, how much was spent on his education, treatment, social benefits, wages.

At least 50% of the total amount received - this will be an adequate fine.

And then march to dig trenches and drag shells!

the Chechen leader believes.

In October, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against a man in the Penza region on the fact of evading conscription for military service as part of partial mobilization.

The suspect's defense insisted that the article only applied to draft evaders.

According to a RIA Novosti source, later the prosecutor's office canceled the first criminal case on evasion.
