A resident of Krasnoyarsk Krai was held in a military barracks for a year due to episodes of spontaneous sleep attacks during his service in a special operation zone. This was reported by the online publication NGS24.ru.
According to the portal, despite his illness, the man was conscripted into the Russian Armed Forces in 2020. As the Russian citizen himself stated, throughout the year, he was only required to participate in patrols and perform domestic duties.
In the fall of 2022, the resident of Krasnoyarsk Krai was mobilized and sent to a military unit near Omsk. After undergoing a medical examination at the hospital, he was advised to get further medical tests independently. However, upon returning to the unit, the man was informed that the doctors from the Ministry of Defense do not accept conclusions from civilian colleagues. According to the man, he simply continued to live in the barracks.
In April, the soldier was admitted to the hospital, after which he returned to the unit. As reported by NGS24, he is not allowed to take leave, his passport and military ID have been confiscated, and he is prohibited from leaving the unit’s territory. The soldier was only scheduled for a military medical commission after a request was sent to the military prosecutor’s office.
Prior to this, Vitaly Milonov, a member of the State Duma, proposed to establish a new holiday in Russia – the Day of Participants in Special Military Operations in Ukraine. The deputy reminded that significant efforts are made in Russia to protect the rights of military personnel.
In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to provide rehabilitation resources to participants of special military operations with disabilities. On September 29, the Russian leader stated that social guarantees for volunteers and regular military personnel involved in special operations should be equal.
Earlier, Putin spoke about the future of the army in Russia.
