"Mobilization, of course, is not a reason to cancel sporting events, but Datsik and Emelianenko are the last thing to worry about now. Apparently, they are not military age guys. If you think about who watches our fights, who are our fighters? Those who must receive subpoenas. The right thing to do is to remind everyone not to forget to look in the mailbox. I received a summons, I'm going to the draft board the other day", — said Mineev.
It is worth noting that Vladimir is the head of the Russian Union of Martial Arts of the Ulyanovsk Region. He is engaged in military sports training and patriotic education of youth. Also, after the recent victory over the Bosnian Erko Jun, Mineev traveled to Mariupol. There he oversees the restoration of sports facilities in one of the districts of the city. However, these are not all the points from the fighter's biography that connect him with the army and the events in Ukraine.
