Ilnar Zinatullin quit his job in March 2022 and went to the NWO zone as a volunteer medical instructor to train fighters. The 42-year-old volunteer told RT why doctors need physical training, why threads are sometimes more important than money, and why psychologists need to work with the wives of fighters.

Subsequently, he began to help with the collection of humanitarian aid, coordinate the work of the Tatarstan branch of the project for sewing tactical stretchers, and at the same time managed to prepare a whole medical platoon.
