Russia using convicts to fight Ukraine

Putin has run out of regular soldiers so he’s working his way though Russias prisons in an effort to replenish his forces with fresh troops. They are promised 200,000 Rubles a month ($5,000 US) and freedom if they last 6months on the front line with only 5 days training.

Soon he will run out of prisoners … maybe then he will resort to child soldiers like they do in west Africa.

Wow! At this rate the war won’t last more than 5 months

@Vivaci Don’t be so sure. The war that originally created the great Russian empire of 1627 lasted 21 years.
Putin wants to recreate the Russian Empire.
Lolz…in his weary old dreams…

He’s not God, and it’s time he realizes that. @justanothername

@Vivaci he may not be but he gave a speech to the students at St Petersburg University outlining his plans for Russia and becoming the Russian Empire of old was part of his intention.
