The move on Wednesday marks a U-turn in Ukraine’s approach on the matter. Kyiv had long opposed the measure and had repeatedly criticised Moscow for mobilising prisoners to fill its ranks.

Tsvily said he feared the creation of “special units” for mobilised soldiers would lead to abuse against prisoners.

“It’s like in Russia – redemption by blood. … Anyone willing to fight will be put in one unit and commanded like meat,” he said.

    but they were confirmed to taking the rapists out of jail as their elites.

    Sure they were, lil ruskito, sure they were.

    Ofc I’ll believe you rather than credible journalistic outlets, why wouldn’t I? Ofc Ukraine had elite rapist battalions before their own laws allowed convicts to serve in the army, of course they did. Why wouldn’t they?
