According to RuNews 24, Sadun was reportedly operating in the Ukrainian army under contract. Before the ongoing war broke out, Saudin was studying at the Faculty of Aerodynamic and Space Technologies at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (KPI).
RuNews24 quoted Sadun as saying that he was “frightened when he realized that he was being taken as a prisoner.” He added, according to the Russian outlet, that the “most terrible thing was to realize that [he was ] a few meters away from an enemy that he had previously seen through binoculars.”
