The move on Wednesday marks a U-turn in Ukraine’s approach on the matter. Kyiv had long opposed the measure and had repeatedly criticised Moscow for mobilising prisoners to fill its ranks.

Tsvily said he feared the creation of “special units” for mobilised soldiers would lead to abuse against prisoners.

“It’s like in Russia – redemption by blood. … Anyone willing to fight will be put in one unit and commanded like meat,” he said.

      They were jailed for atrocities in Donbas by Ukraine. Even Polish fucking wiki reports that but of course everything that do not agrees with your delusions gotta be a “ruskito” propaganda lol.

        Ah yes, Wikipedia, the FREELY EDITABLE WEBSITE.

        A crucial part in why Wikipedia is important is that it has good notation, some times good moderation, and it lists the sources.

        How did Ukraine have convicts in the military before a solution for it was passed — just days ago?

        I think like Putin, you’re having some confusion as to what’s Ukrainian and what’s Russian.
