Ukraine counter-offensive: Russian human rights group questions why prisoners are being sent to die in Ukraine




A Russian human rights group has questioned why prisoners are being sent to die in Ukraine.

It has been widely reported that the Russian army is suffering from an acute shortage of troops due to the deadly efficiency of its Ukrainian foe. Russia is now desperately resorting to dangling the freedom carrot in front of criminals if they ‘volunteer’ to join the army and survive six months.

Of course, the prospect of survival for any of these people is slim to none, but they would likely die in Russian jails anyway.
