Surrounded by prisoners dressed in black, a man identified as Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of a shadowy mercenary group, makes this pitch: Come fight in Ukraine and be rewarded with your freedom — if you can make it back alive.
"Nobody goes back behind bars," Prigozhin, founder of the Russian private military company Wagner, can be seen telling men in a video from a Russian prison yard, per a translation from The Wall Street Journal's Yaroslav Trofimov. "If you serve six months, you are free. If you arrive in Ukraine and decide it's not for you, we execute you."
He gives the men 5 minutes to make a choice.

“If you serve six months, you go free!”
And then, that ‘six months’ is extended for ‘Two Weeks’.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Come join the fight and see the world.
Did he even get a dozen?
Nothing like giving a little incentive.
The Russian Foreign Legion. Just do not ever return to Russian soil.
But you may continue to kill others outside Russia.
That’s some pretty good motivation, get out of prison, come fight at the front, if you don’t fight, we execute you.
Just like the elected Democrats in NY state releasing violent criminals, but without the execution threat [/S].
I wonder if Brittney Griner accepted the offer…
LOL, just have to watch out for Maggot.
It’s a big pay cut...about 160 grand...but you never know...
Just once I want to see Jim Brown make it onto that truck.
The Ruskies must have watched that Ed Harris movie about Stalingrad. They used the same ploy in that movie.
Years ago in this country a young lawbreaker had a choice, “You either join the military or you go to jail. What is your answer?” - the judge says. That usually corrected their behavior problem.
… to flatten the curve.
The usual agit prop notwithstanding
Unlike most on this thread I am very informed on all perspectives on this Russo Uke war
And I can say with certainty knowing a dozen pro Russian and a dozen middle perspective bloggers in addition to western propaganda
That nobody can truly describe Wagner
It’s extremely secretive
My son has communicated with some via 4chan in the Syrian conflict
And I know they are heavy with Spetznaz and the like
And are often non coms
And range from early 20s to older at leadership
They are like Blackwater sort of
And ferocious
But I do know this
They are weary
They have been used a lot as spearhead for DPR and have done 90% of the actual fighting together
But anyone claims to really know is just more bullshit
They have historically fought some fanatics from Ossetia to Syria to CAR to Donbas
I think they have some black troops from CAR they hired as well after Pootie played in that sandbox
Word is they are glad the Chechens leave is up and the Chechens have returned to the war
This is what I know
Like I said I search all sources
Source veracity is in the order
Middle sources fairly clean
Russian sources well it is Russia but they disclose more than Ukraine does about troops and casualties probably for obvious reasons they can afford to and Ukraine can’t
Western media is nearly all just nonsense except yes Ukraine did take Back some territory last weekend
Same here, he deserves to make it back especially after killing Maggot.
At least Paul Kersey made it back, he was needed in the 70’s and 80’s to clean up crime in New York and Los Angeles.
“Killin’ Generals could get to be a habit with me!”
Good thing penis piano man wasn’t in LOsove or he be learning to swim..Bad day for Z .................
Uke troops at Losove bridgehead are cutoff from resupply since the Rus blew up the dam at Gravy Rih and all the uke pontoon bridges on the ingulets river were washed away.Gravy Rih has no water or electricity for now.
