At the trial, the man denied his guilt, emphasizing that he disagreed with the decision of the military medical commission on his fitness for service. He also noted that he refused to be mobilized because he believed that other people were evading service, while he was being forced to go to war.
The court, having analyzed the circumstances of the case, found him guilty under an article that criminalizes draft evasion, confirming the seriousness of the consequences of such actions in wartime. This decision sparked a public debate, emphasizing the importance of honoring military obligations.
