Relatives and friends wanted to dissuade him from what he did, but Yevgeny retorted, "I am a strong man, why should I stand by and watch?"
Yevgeny's relatives and friends said that he was a very good person. He would not reveal details about where he was or what he was doing during previous phone calls, but only talked about the cats and dogs they had adopted, so the news that he was fighting with the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region was unknown to the family.
