Ex-Deputy Defense Minister Ivanov appealed against the refusal to give him an answer about being sent to his home

Former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov appealed the court's decision on a lawsuit against the military enlistment office due to the lack of a response to his request to be sent to the special military operation zone (SVO). This was announced on May 7 by his lawyer Denis Baluyev.

"Timur Vadimovich filed a complaint a long time ago, it has just been registered in court," Baluyev said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The lawyer added that his client may request to be sent to his home at any stage of the proceedings.

At the end of October 2025, Ivanov sent an appeal to the military commissariat with a request to send him to the front. After receiving no response, he filed a lawsuit, considering the military's inaction illegal. In March, the Moscow Meshchansky Court rejected his claims.

According to the investigation, he entered into a criminal conspiracy with the heads of contractors who worked at the facilities of the Ministry of Defense, and concluded contracts with them in exchange for personal rewards. In July, the former deputy minister was sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined 100 million rubles.
