Kyiv. Russia is now trying a new tactic in the war against Ukraine. In fact, Ukraine is recruiting convicted women from those colonies for the purpose of harsh punishment in the occupied territories to help Moscow’s war effort. This has been mentioned in a report of the Ukrainian army. In its intelligence report, Ukraine’s army said that the Russian army is trying to ‘replenish’ the reduction in its army through this. Next February 24 will mark one year since the start of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.

The statement said, ‘To compensate for the loss in the army, the enemy is trying to attract guilty women to participate in the war. Over the course of a week, Moscow recruited about 50 people from a women’s correctional colony in the city of Snizhne in the temporarily occupied region of Donetsk region. It is also known that he was sent to the territory of the Russian Federation for training.

In September last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization in Russia with the aim of drafting a 300,000 reserve army to support his military campaign. However, later reports suggested that Russia was recruiting homeless people and people with little military experience to strengthen its army.
