Defeated on the battlefield, Russia recruits female prisoners to fight in

Russian forces are recruiting female convicts in occupied regions of Ukraine to help in their war effort, according to a report from the Ukrainian military.

In its intelligence report, the military said Russian forces were trying to "replenish" their army.

It said: “To replenish losses in manpower, the enemy is trying to attract female convicts to participate in hostilities. Over the course of a week, the invaders recruited about 50 people from the women's correctional colony of the city of Snizhne in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region. It is also known that they were sent to the territory of the Russian Federation for training" .

In September last year, Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization in Russia in what appeared to be an admission that Moscow's war in Ukraine would not be planned.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the time that Russia would draft 300,000 reservists to support its military campaign.

However, reports later began to emerge that the Kremlin was recruiting homeless people and those with little military experience.
