What preceded it?
As a reminder, on 21 September 2024, the soldier wrote on Facebook that he had left the unit without permission to draw attention to the need to set terms of service for mobilised people.
"The absence of clear terms of service contributes to 'black demobilisation': marriages to disabled pensioners used to be a meme, but now it is a very common phenomenon, divorcing wives to get sole custody of a child, divorcing their own parents to get care for their mother or father, going for the AWOL. There is a lot to learn from history, but unfortunately, we do not learn the lessons of history.
The government is still incapable of a serious dialogue with society and is intolerant of non-fulfilment of civic duty by a wide range of citizens. Instead of the doctrine that 'fighting is the duty of every citizen', the government proposes to appoint those who have been caught on the streets as defenders for an indefinite period of time," he explained.
The 56th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade ordered an internal investigation.
Subsequently, Serhii Hnezdilov, a soldier of the 56th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade, who had publicly reported on the AWOL, was served with a suspicion of desertion.
Hnezdilov took part in battles in Donetsk region, including Pisky and Bakhmut. He is also the founder of the cultural festival "VydelkaFest" in his hometown of Vilkovo in Odesa region and hosts the hromadske podcast "++ Podcast", where he talks to the military and raises the issue of militarisation of society.
Censor.NET previously published an interview with Hnezdilov.
