A Russian employee of Austria's Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) was killed after being mobilised to fight against Ukraine, despite his bank writing to the draft office seeking an exemption, his lawyer told Reuters on Friday.
Timur Izmailov, 33, an IT specialist at Raiffeisen's Russian operations in Moscow, was conscripted on Sept. 23, two days after President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilisation order, and died on Oct. 13 after being hit by mortar fire, his lawyer Konstantin Yerokhin said.
