Alexander Shishlov, the leader of the Yabloko faction in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, sent an appeal to the Minister of Defence Andrei Belousov, asking to organise an investigation into the information about the participation of conscripts in military operations in the Kursk region and take measures to prevent their further presence on the contact line in the region.
Russian citizens asked Alexander Shishlov as a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St.Petersburg to contact the minister. Their appeals were attached to the letter.
According to a number of media (links to publications were also attached to the letter), it was conscripts who had to fight when the Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded the Kursk region. Some of them were captured. At the same time, President Vladimir Putin had repeatedly stated that conscripts should not participate in combat operations in the special military operation zone.
