Putin frees criminals from prison, leads to war in Ukraine

Speaking to some young people and volunteers in Moscow, the Kremlin chief said that 318,000 people have joined the war since mobilization was declared in September, including 18,000 volunteers, which exceeds the original target set by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

His last gesture, however, was interpreted as an act of despair and indication that reality could be another.

As far as I know, 49,000 of the mobilized have performed only combat duties. Others are still training. ”- said Putin

The law excludes those convicted of sexual abuse of children, treason, spying, or terrorism. Those who have been convicted of attempted murder of a government official, hijacking aircraft, extremist activity, and illegal treatment of nuclear materials and radioactive substances remain similarly.

Russia has also gathered prisoners and vulnerable citizens to serve at the Russian private military company Wagner Group, which is currently operating together with the regular Russian armed forces. The Ukrainian Defence Ministry immediately claims that Wagner group has also recruited prisoners with HIV and Hepatit C.

After the start of aggression against the neighbouring country in February, Russia first invaded Ukraine's large territories, but after that for months, the Kremlin has suffered massive military and territory losses due to two Kyiv counterensivas.
