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.

@fun4us2b Their gulags are totally lawless brutal fight fest prisons. They make US prisons look like Holliday camps.
