People close to Mulivanov [age 59] say he has type 2 diabetes and polyneuropathy, and that his health deteriorated in pretrial detention. Meanwhile, requests for a medical examination submitted by his defense back in the summer have gone unanswered. His lawyer said Mulivanov had not undergone a military medical evaluation before [being tricked into] signing the contract, either.

Praying for the best – that whatever munition does him in is especially cheap and gives a Ukrainian valuable target practice. 🙏

    Schadenfreude aside, you gotta realize that putting a man that old into military service as a grunt is a super bad look. What are we at now? 1.5+ million souls gone on Russia's side alone?
