Employees of Gazprom enterprises in the Nadymsky district of the Tyumen region were forcibly sent to the front without serving summons. It is reported by Dozhd with reference to the wife of one of the employees, Natalia.
According to Natalya, on September 26, the men were asked to bring their military ID to work, allegedly in order to verify the data. With the documents they were sent for a medical examination. After the inspection, almost everyone was taken away military tickets and upgraded to category "A" – "fit". "Volunteer" was written on the personal files. When asked what this mark means, they answered: “Well, since you yourself came, it means that you are volunteers.” The next day, the men were taken away for training. In total, about 80 employees of Gazprom enterprises in the region were taken away, the interlocutor of Dozhd said.
Natalia's husband was able to refuse a medical examination. He said that for health reasons he needed to be examined by a surgeon, and promised the military enlistment office staff to return the next day. After that, he and his wife left the country. “We know that they don’t just call the military registration and enlistment office, and therefore, as soon as he left, I started packing my things,” Natalia said.
After leaving, Andrey got a call from his boss. The man told him about his departure. As it turned out, Andrey's boss did not know that the company had sent employees to the draft board. Andrei noted that the production where he works is considered dangerous, and the absence of even one employee at the workplace can emergency stop the work. “And here, it turns out, 80 people were taken away at once,” he added.
Earlier, Sota, citing sources, reported that the authorities of the Khabarovsk Territory were unable to provide reservations from the mobilization of employees of the operational services of the thermal power plant, Gazprom and other structures responsible for the region's heat supply. According to the publication, several specialists from the relevant services are already in military units and are waiting to be sent to Ukraine from day to day.
