Moscow has started recruiting women serving
time across Russian correctional
facilities to bolster its military, Ukraine’s National Resistance Center
(NRC) reported on April 12.
The report states that recruiters from the Russian Defense Ministry are primarily looking for medics and snipers but are also seeking women for assault units. The imprisoned women are being offered substantial salaries and pardons for the crimes.
“It should be noted that the convicted women are readily agreeing to the terms, as they believe in the propaganda that they will return home alive,” the message said.
“However, in Ukraine, they face a very different situation, and many of them, instead of freedom, will endure hell.”
The NRC also urged people to report on the location of Russian military forces in occupied Ukrainian territories, guaranteeing complete anonymity to the sources.
Previously, NRC reported that Russia is beginning to rely on prisoner manpower for low-skill labor in its military-industrial complex.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
