Putin’s freed convicts kill 1,000 Russian civilians in drunken rampage | World | News
Since his invasion of Ukraine, Putin has released tens of thousands of murderers, rapists and bandits from prisons on the condition that they fight for him on the front lines as soldiers.
More than 1,000 Russian civilians have been killed by Vladimir Putin’s violent soldiers. Shameful consequences include fighters committing drunken attacks while on leave from combat or committing murder in border areas close to where they are based.
Many of those who commit these crimes subsequently receive no punishment because they are simply sent back to the front lines.
All they need to escape prison at any stage, no matter how far into the investigation, trial or even after sentencing, is to risk their bodies once again in Ukraine.
The sickening number of 1,045 cases involving Russian soldiers accused of murder or deadly attacks against the country’s own citizens was revealed by independent news organization Mediazona, which combed through court records.
