The head of the Vorkuta administration, Yaroslav Shaposhnikov, said that he will go to serve under contract in the area of military operations in Ukraine. On this subject informed Komiinform.
“The time has come to directly support our guys and participate in a special military operation as a serviceman of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Five of my colleagues will travel with me from Vorkuta,” Shaposhnikov said at a rally in support of the military operation.

In October 2022, the mayor of Vorkuta got into a scandal when declared that about 10% of the volunteers go to the front because their wives are “used to the good life” and “have seen them”.
“She saws and saws, saws and saws. Our dear women, take care of your men,” Shaposhnikov said. Men “don’t feel the rear when they’re pounded from behind, and that motivates them to go forward,” he said. .
“When he feels a duty to the Fatherland, it’s a moment. But when he feels a duty to the Fatherland, but does not feel at the back, and because of that, he goes to a “change decor” … You yourself will regret it later, God forbid ”, Shaposhnikov turned to his wives.
Later official declared his words were taken out of context. “The words have been taken out of context and some even give their own interpretation. You have to watch the full video, but in general, I stand firm: a woman is the back and support of a man, whom she must support in all situations, ”Shaposhnikov explained.
