A young Belarusian didn't want to serve time in Russia for drugs, so he figured out how to quickly get out of the colony — and ended up on Ukrainian positions near Pokrovsk
Aliaksandr Savitski from Hluski district was supposed to celebrate his 20th birthday beyond the Arctic Circle — in one of the colonies in Russian Labytnangi. The guy had just started living when he was sentenced to six years of strict regime for drug drops in Russia. Not accepting his fate, Savitski joined the "V" assault squad for prisoners. And then, it was like for everyone else.

Aliaksandr Savitski was born on August 16, 2004. He did not study at universities; he tried to earn a living himself — by dropping drugs in Russia, which led to his downfall.
He received six years of strict regime and went to serve his sentence in Colony No. 8 "White Bear" in the city of Labytnangi. By the way, Aleksei Navalny was killed in the neighboring Colony No. 6 "Polar Wolf."
The colony is located beyond the Arctic Circle; the weather there is significantly different from Hluski. Aliaksandr couldn't endure the conditions and didn't come to terms with his sentence, so he informed his relatives of his desire to get out of prison by joining the occupation army and — ignoring their dissuasion — enlisted in the "V" assault squad of military unit 38643.
Savitski was taken as a rifleman-grenade launcher assistant, which in practice means a role in a one-time assault group.
Such groups are formed with a reserve, because a minority of those sent (if they even get there) reach Ukrainian positions — through mines and drones. Those who make it are finished off with machine guns, which are remotely controlled from underground.
And so Aliaksandr stopped responding after being sent on an assault as part of such a group in August.
Now, relatives whom the young man didn't listen to are trying to find information about the body's location. It is only known that Aliaksandr disappeared somewhere near the town of Hornyk in Pokrovsky district, Donetsk region.
