The Zambian student was serving a jail sentence at a medium security prison on the outskirts of Moscow after being convicted of contravening Russian law, Kakubo said, without specifying the offense that occurred in April 2020.

“The Zambian government has requested the Russian authorities to urgently provide information on the circumstances under which a Zambian citizen, serving a prison sentence in Moscow, could have been recruited to fight in Ukraine,” Kakubo said.

ussia’s defense ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the circumstances of his journey to Ukraine and subsequent death.

I suspect it was like the story a Russian friend told me of her uncle in WW2. When Stalingrad was under siege, the Soviets went into the prisons and gave the prisoners the choice of 1) being shot; or 2) running in front of the Russian lines to draw sniper fire so the Rus Army could locate the German snipers and hit them. He took the latter option, was hit several times, but survived.

Yes, and you know Saddam Hussein has WMDs and if we don’t stop him, he will use them on San Francisco and the city will be a mess (God forbid!). So we invade Iraq tonight!

No, the war started because a US puppet Banderist regime decided to engage in ethnic cleansing on Russia’s border.
But by all means keep proving you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Surprise! War is used by country leaders to murder their own people.

In this case Wagner PMC recruited Russian prisoners with the promise of commuted sentences if they fought honorably and survived on the battlefield for one year.

One year of fighting vs nine years of hard labor in a Russian prison...which posed a greater risk to an African drug smuggler?

Your ‘new Tsar’ is a Nazi named Freeland.

You know, them folks got to do what them folks do, yeah?

In Nazi Freeland’s case, the raising of war bonds for a Banderist Regime.

In Germany’s case....

Maybe he was out of jail and went to fight Russians. How is this our business? Who knows and nothing any of us care to do about it.

During the Vietnam “War” in the 60s judges in the United States sometimes gave young men convicted of crimes the choice of going to jail or going into the army.
