A man accused of a serious crime in Achinsk was released from pre-trial detention and flew to the front lines in Ukraine less than two weeks after his arrest, according to a report by Zhenya Zobnina for "Realities." The suspect was arrested on July 10 after allegedly attacking a groom with a knife outside a cafe. A court placed the attacker in pre-trial detention on July 13, but he was released on July 25 and departed from Krasnoyarsk on July 27.
The report states that since 2023, prisoners have been taken to fight in Ukraine, and since 2024, even those not yet tried can be sent to the front. The journalist notes that this story has a continuation and is "very heavy."
