Russia 'sends WOMEN prisoners to Ukraine war zone for first time as Putin looks to make up for heavy losses'
MAILONLINE ^ | 14 March 2023 | WILL STEWART

Russian president has sought 'alternative sources to replenish man power'

It added: '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.'

And earlier this week, there were reports that Russia had moved women convicts to Kuschevka in Krasnodar region, close to the war zone.

Here some female prisoners - released under a 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.

Some had been recruited from a women's penal colony in Snezhnoye, a city in the occupied Donetsk region.

'It is also known that they are sent to the territory of the Russian Federation for training,' the Ukrainian general staff said.

Several hundred women in prisons in the Sverdlovsk region - in the Ural District - asked local MP Vyacheslav Wegner to send them to Ukraine, it was reported.

Prigozhin, head of Wagner, said there had been 'resistance' among the Russian authorities to deploy women in the war zone.

However, the reports suggest females are now being deployed, although their precise role is unknown.

Heavy losses on the battlefields has also forced Putin to desperately empty Russian museums of obsolete tanks to repurpose them for his flailing war effort.

Footage shows ageing Soviet-era T-62s being 'modernised' in a round-the-clock factory in Chita, Siberia.

The drive to retrofit the decades-old tanks highlights the desperation of Putin's military machine - while Ukraine is being supplied with the most modern Western tanks.

Russia is believed to be sending women prisoners to Ukraine on trains to make up for its losses on the front line (file image)

So, women and prisoners are knocking NATO all over the schoolyard? It’s a hollow army, kept erect by the US taxpayers and low-T DIMWITS.

These women haven’t arrived yet so it’s a bit Russian of you to preempt their battlefield success.

The prisoners who’ve already gone there are soaking up Ukrainian bullets but it doesn’t take a lot of skill to be a suicide squad / vatnik pinata.

Just stand still with a broken weapon and no ammo. If you get filled full of lead, you’ve done your duty.

Plenty of Russian women know how to drive farm tactors. Some from the old Soviet collective farm days. Get them driving trucks in Ukraine. The young one can provide “services”. They can cook too, for the pathetic Russian army. Then mend the cheap tattered uniforms that Russia buys from Iran and the Norks.

Prestooooon. You should go and help out these Russian women army corps

“I oppose war in all forms, unlike you, you Biden-loving hyperkinetic yammering marionette.”

Yeah right! You are one of Putin’s gloat-a-tronic robots here. Stooge, Putin is your number one anti-globohomo man! Now that Travis McGee has absconded to YouTube to pontificate.

IvanPresto "Women and prisoners are knocking NATO all over the schoolyard"

NATO hasn't even joined the war - they just supply weapons to the Ukrainians. And the Ukrainians are knocking Russia all over the schoolyard

So it is really the Russians getting knocked all over the schoolyard

You might want to ask yourself why the Russians even feel the need to send Russian women prisoners into the war zone in the first place, but you're too dense for that obvious answer.

Then why no criticism of the Russians who started this war? Why only criticism of the Ukrainians and their supporters? This war would stop if the Russians just went home.

A doubtful story but something is needed to keep the war headlines flowing.

The pathetic Russian army has aurrounded the UFA at Bakhmut, like the French at Dien Bien Phu.

Comfort women? Do they volunteer? ex-streetwalkers? What do they get in return? Pardons? Might improve moral in any case. Didn’t France do this? Putin is looking into the Long Haul now.

Welcome to the Dennisw propaganda clown show.

This is the same guy who posted the story about Russian soldiers only having shovels.

How did free republic end up with such stupid and gullible people?

Oh well, good for a laugh
