State Duma Deputy from Novosibirsk Dmitry Savelyev signed up as a volunteer in the Vega battalion and went to the war zone, but got off the train before he could cross the border of the region. This is reported by «Taiga.Info» with reference to «several» sources.
As the interlocutors of the publication specified, Savelyev got off at the station in the village of Chany, from there drove by car to Omsk, and then flew to Moscow. Where he went next is unknown. Taiga.Info journalists were unable to contact the politician.
“Savelyev could have flown away on urgent business or simply avoid wasting time so as not to shake in the car [with other members of the battalion],” one of the sources suggested publications.
At the end of last year, Andrey Panferov, vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region and head of the Vega battalion, said that in winter Savelyev would go to fight in Ukraine as a volunteer. In addition, the local branch of United Russia reported on the participation of the deputy in the battalion. alt=»1″ />Regional PR troops.
