Ukraine Passes Bill To Recruit Prisoners For Depleted Army Ranks

The severe manpower crisis of Ukraine's armed forces continues to be on display, particularly after the recent decision of the government to deny embassy and consular services for Ukrainian men of fighting age who live abroad but refuse to come back home.
Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday just once again upped the controversy and advanced a dramatic change in law and national policy. It passed a bill enabling select prisoners to be released in order to fight in the armed forces.
quote:
"The parliament has voted 'yes,'" MP Olena Shuliak, head of Zelensky's party, announced in a social media post. "The draft law opens the possibility for certain categories of prisoners who expressed a desire to defend their country to join the Defense Forces," she said.
Ironically Moscow has previously come under international condemnation and mockery for just such a policy.
AFP and other international outlets acknowledged this as follows: "Long-opposed to the measure and having criticized Moscow's mobilization of prisoners to fill its ranks, Kyiv has recently U-turned amid fresh Russian advances on the battlefield," a report said.
The legislation still has to be signed by parliament's chairperson and President Zelensky in order to come into force as an active policy. The bill includes the following reported stipulations and parameters:
Prisoners must volunteer
Only those with three or more years left on their sentence can apply
Those convicted of violent sexual crimes are not eligible
Former high-ranking officials and those guilty of "serious corruption" are not eligible
Prisoners who killed two or people are not eligible

Eventually the only people who will be left in Ukraine...are the Ukrainian elites and the prisoners who killed 2 or more people.

Don’t forget the violent sexual criminals.

All I get out of that is that prisoners are more protected than citizens there.

Great move. AND if the criminals can't reform themselves away from a life of crime, they can be sent here to the USA. They will fit right in here, with the rest of the criminal illegals already here in the tens of millions.
I mean, at this point in US History, should we really hesitate on this initiative? It wouldn't make a difference one way or the other I don't think. The USA is still headed to the same destination.

The Soviets had penal legions in WW II. Any Vor Y Zakone (thief in law) who participated and later got put back in prison afterwards was part of what was called the “bitch wars”.
I can’t make this shite up.

With our luck, the unit would be 13 Maggotts.
