Since the start of the war, Ukraine has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers with nobody to replace them. The Ukrainian army is now so depleted from these losses that the Volodymyr Zelensky regime is grasping to stuff anything with a pulse into uniform so the human sacrifices can continue.
Prisoners are reportedly "volunteering" to fight for Zelensky in exchange for their release. Since May, some 2,800 Ukrainian prisoners have been sent to the front lines with as many as 20,000 more soon to join them, according to Ukrainian Justice Minister Denis Malyuska.
"You can put an end to this and start a new life," is what one recruiter is telling convicts in an effort to lure them onto the battlefield for Zelensky.
A new law adopted by the Ukrainian parliament that same month allows the prison population the option to fight for Zelensky in exchange for early release. A contract is forged to force the deal, which covers convicted drug traffickers and perpetrators of certain violent crimes, including homicide.

Eventually, no more Ukrainian or Russian young people will be alive to fight
One of the prisons involved in the scheme is Prison No. 14 in Odessa, located in southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian army has really been targeting Prison No. 14 for new recruits with volunteers being promised training and a monthly salary of around 100,000 hryvnias, or just under €2,500 (around $2,700).

"This is about the same as the standard military salary in Ukraine," reported Remix News. "Those who are deployed in assault brigades at the front earn the equivalent of €2,750 a month."
Since the summer of 2022, Russia has been doing the very same thing by replenishing its ranks with prisoners. In 2023, thousands of convicts were seriously wounded or killed fighting for Vladimir Putin just in the eastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmut.
Nearby Germany is making bank from all this as Rheinmetall, the country's largest arms manufacturer, just scored a massive €8.5 billion order for artillery shells, most of which will be sent to Ukraine.
"The new order alone is more than the company's total 2023 sales of €7.17 billion," Remix News revealed. "Rheinmetall is Germany's largest arms manufacturer, producing not only ammunition but also tanks, military trucks and weapons."
Finland is also "reaping dividends" from the war by using it as a testing ground for new weaponry, according to a senior defense official.
The New York Times also reported that Russia is releasing female prison inmates to join the war in Ukraine, this after releasing tens of thousands of male convicts.
Russia, meanwhile, claims to have taken control of two villages in eastern Ukraine: the settlement of Stepova Novoselivka in the Kharkiv region and Novopokrovske in the Donetsk region.
For the first time, Hungarian President Viktor Orbán will visit Zelensky. Orbán is one of the most pro-Russian leaders in Europe, having vetoed a scheme to siphon $1.4 billion from frozen Russian assets to procure and supply fresh arms and other aid to Ukraine.
"They were making fun of Russia two years ago for doing this," one commenter wrote about Ukraine's hypocritical decision to start creating new troops out of imprisoned criminals.
