Three Russian conscripts from Sakhalin, engaged in a legal battle against the Ministry of Defense over forged contracts, have been killed in action in Ukraine, as reported by Okno. The legal conflict lasted almost nine months, with confirmation of the last victim, Viktor Baturin, occurring in December. Viktor, 21, was reportedly sent on a severe assault mission in the Donetsk region on November 23, 2024, and did not return. Prior to this mission, he sustained shrapnel injuries but was redeployed before healing. The controversy started in November 2023 when Baturin and another conscript, Nikita Molochkovsky, were drafted and received unusual payments, prompting them to file lawsuits. These forged contracts were allegedly signed voluntarily in December 2023 by the unit commander Petrov and acting lieutenant colonel Misevich. Molochkovsky died in August, while the third conscript, Nikita Borisov, was reportedly killed before him. Posthumous forensic analysis confirmed the forgeries, leaving families with belated certainties.
