Russia is reportedly preparing to deploy women prisoners to the front line for the first time.
Due to heavy losses in the war, Vladimir Putin has sought ‘alternative sources of replenishment of manpower’, the Ukrainian armed forces general staff claims.
‘Last week there was a movement towards the Donetsk region of a train with reserved seats for transporting prisoners. One of the carriages [was for] convicted women,’ said a statement.
Earlier this week, there were reports the Kremlin had moved female convicts to Kuschevka in Krasnodar region, close to the war zone.
Here some female prisoners – released under a special scheme linked to the war effort – were put to work as farm labourers in field as well as ‘greenhouses and cowsheds’, possibly deployed in supplying the military.
Olga Romanova, of Russian Behind Bars Foundation, believes around 100 women were sent to Ukraine.
Male prisoners have been recruited in Russia in their tens of thousands and offered a deal which reduces their sentences if they serve – and stay alive – for six months at the frontline.
Last month the Ukrainian general staff said that Russia was actively ‘trying to recruit convicted women to participate in the hostilities’.
This was to ‘compensate for losses in personnel’, they said.
Some had been recruited from a women’s penal colony in Snezhnoye, in occupied Donetsk region.
Even before the war broke out, and amid long-term personnel shortages in the Russian Armed Forces, the Kremlin has made little efforts to enlist women.

Next, children and elderly men. Putin is becoming Hitler in the bunker.
Damn, Brittany Griner miss her chance...

Purij the feminist. Maybe Gloria Steinen can present him with an award.
More CIA drivel..... Joe’s Vietnam is not ageing well....
Russia needs Ukraine like a fish needs a bicycle.
Russia needs Crimea for its naval base.
Russia needs eastern Ukraine to move supplies to Crimea.
A woman’s ‘’penal colony’’. Uh huh. Right.
Sounds like propaganda.
Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe and, on top of that, anyone who controls it is a threat to Russia’s access to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
This crap gets more embarrassing each day. Please stop.
It’s confession by projection.
Sure you do.
That was my first thought. I don't trust Putin, but our own government and press aren't any more trustworthy.
The needs of Russia do not supersede the rights of the Ukrainians.
