About 11,000 convicts have joined the army, according to the Penitentiary Service of Ukraine. Many have distinguished themselves in battles on the most difficult sections of the front. Yet the state has not granted them the rights they were promised. How convicts fight – and why they never became free people – report by Frontliner.

Ouch, they should give them what had been promised. Everything else is the Russian way, and we don’t want it. Give them their freedom and see what will happen.

Prisoners know what they’re getting into. They have a contract. A contract. What rights do male citizens of Ukraine have (is this sixtism?) during an UNDECLARED war in the country? A ban on free movement has (always) been called a dictatorship.
We rely on the Law – women’s rights are infringed. I can hear the human rights activists’ backsides crunching (women are human too). There’s no need to reinvent the wheel—it’s all written into every country’s constitution. You’re either law-abiding or you’re not.
Substitution of concepts is a game that can be played in pairs.

This post is making me feel sympathy for convicted Russian murderers and rapists because they, too, were screwed by Russia’s war machine.
But then I remember that these guys were locked up for being murderers and rapists, and then they were promised freedom if they agreed to murder and rape Ukrainians, which they agreed to do.
So I don’t have any sympathy for these anymore. They’re Russian soldiers who willingly rape and murder Ukrainians. Fuck ‘em.

Shades of the WWII Soviet penal battalions. Not a good way to conduct a war…

One of the slides should state if this is talking about Ukraine or Russia. I assume Russia, but still it should be written.
