According to the newspaper Kommersant, Corporal Madina Kabaloyeva received an official recommendation from her military unit’s medical company that she be temporarily exempted from military service due to the fact that she was pregnant and had a young child. However, this wasn’t sufficient to shield her from criminal charges when she failed to report to her unit’s leadership.

The court sentenced Kabaloyeva to six years in prison but deferred the sentence until 2032 due to her young child.

gotta raise the older child a little more first, so they can be conscripted--and don't worry about the new child when you go off to prison, we'll "take care" of them, too.
