Russia is Sending Prisoners to Go Fight in Ukraine
Video Summary
Russia has announced an operational pause in their invasion of Ukraine to regroup and rebuild their forces. This pause has led to speculation that Russia is running out of gas and struggling to make progress. Meanwhile, Ukraine is reportedly killing over 36,000 Russian soldiers, with many of these casualties being separatist fighters from the Donbas region. Russia has resorted to conscripting men from the Donbas region to fight, as well as recruiting volunteers among the Ukrainian population. The Russian military is also pushing for more reinforcements from the North Caucasus and Transnistria regions.
Moreover, Russia has been offering freedom and money to prisoners if they join the fight against Ukraine, with the Wagner Group, a Kremlin-funded private military group, paying 2,900,000 rubles (approximately $3,500) and offering amnesty for their sentences. The Wagner Group has been accused of having neo-Nazi ties, and critics argue that Ukraine is defending the world against neo-Nazis in this conflict.
The Russian government has also approved a bill raising the age limit for military personnel to 65, allowing 64- and 65-year-olds to join the military and fight in Ukraine. The author discusses how these developments show that Russia is struggling to maintain its invasion of Ukraine, and that the real objective of the “special military operation” is not going according to plan.
