Putin Recruiting Troops From Prisons To Fight In Ukraine After Massive Losses
They believe that at least 20,000 of the Russian president’s military personnel have been killed in Ukraine since he launched his invasion on February 24.
Three to four times as many Russian soldiers are estimated to have been wounded or incapacitated, with Ukrainian forces also suffering heavy losses.
In its latest intelligence update, the Ministry of Defence in London said: “Russian Armed Forces’ personnel shortages may be forcing the Russian MOD to turn to non-traditional recruitment. This includes recruiting personnel from Russian prisons for the Wagner Private Military Company.
However, information coming out of the Kremlin is even more questionable given that it has not even admitted that an invasion has taken place and its denials of air and artillery strikes hitting civilians areas seem unbelievable.
“Russian forces are likely maintaining military pressure on Ukrainian forces whilst regrouping and reconstituting for further offensives in the near future.”
