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.

Wow, imagine having to live your life knowing that you'll have to spend 6 years in prison after about 8-9 years.

Isn’t it safer for her to flee the country?

Obviously, but I imagine she is now rather limited in travelling abroad...

And if they get her, she will fly out of a window
