17/ The army caught up with him in February 2024 and took him to an army prison. "There were always 30-40 people there. Once a week a plane would fly out and pick up those who agreed to go to war. They set conditions: either you go to a real prison or you go to war. But you still go to war after the trial. That is, they get you on a hook: you are put on trial, and at the trial you ask, please, I won’t do this anymore, I want to fight."
18/ "And the judge gives you a suspended sentence instead of a real one. And you can't get away from this hook, because if you escape, your suspended sentence will turn into a real one, plus they'll add on time for escaping. And you'll immediately go to jail for ten years. I spent three months there. They tried to put me on board three times and send me to war. I refused, demanded that they conduct a VVK [military medical commission]."
