A soldier with ammunition escaped from a military unit in the Voronezh region

In the Voronezh Region, the search continues for 36-year-old contract soldier Sergei R., who left his military unit at the end of December last year. The man, previously convicted of robbery, assault and theft, violated the terms of service by fleeing in civilian clothes. Since then, his whereabouts remain unknown.

Sergei R., as it turns out, has a complicated past. He last received a suspended sentence two years ago and was under administrative supervision. In 2023, the man signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense, despite his criminal past. It is unknown what exactly caused his decision to become a contract soldier, but such cases are often associated with an attempt to change his life or avoid legal restrictions.

A criminal case has been opened against Sergei under Article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Abandonment of a military unit without permission"), which provides for a punishment of up to five years in prison. No details about his escape or possible motives have been disclosed yet.

Local law enforcement agencies are actively working to find the fugitive, distributing his description and asking residents of the region to provide any information that could help in the search. However, so far no reliable leads have been found.
