Once they are sent to the front line, they will just surrender as soon as they face the Russian soldiers.
At least they will be out of prison for few days…
propagandas again. they are forced to do it.
They will flee 😂😂😂 considered as patriots
Of course they "applied" 😂😂
Why no black people never get camera time makes u wonder if they are nazis like Russia is claiming
what if they just deflect to russia?
Copying Russia is what Russians do.
Then run away
This shows how desperate the U.S. and its lil gang has gotten
kekw copy cats
How sick that desperate for troops. what happened to the first and second set of troops dead i bet. Ukraine is not winning this hundreds if not thousands more will die and if america keeps stirring up the pot it will be millions then 🙄
They didn’t apply … they were conscripted … WION is such a fool to push western terminology
Are all women recruited dead??
The French can fight along side 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was it that Ukrainians were uttering about Russia enlisting prisoners for war in Ukraine? A bunch of hypocrites is all they are, after the prisoners are gone, I wouldn't be surprised if they sent their own mothers to fight the Russians while their own sons and daughters are safely tucked away from Ukraine!!! Judging from what footage I've seen, the prisoners will suffer the same fate as the sons and fathers that were kidnapped off the street in front of their wives and children, serve as cannon fodder!
they are forced against their will
😂😂😂😂😂
Are they still alive? I thought those prosonets were dead alrrady last 2023. Theze are the new prisondts who wanted to to escape from military service ha ha ha
Funny Ukraine are confuse
What happened to Ukraine's female army
🥇🥇👰🏻♀️🕯️🕯️🕯️🏏⭐️⭐️🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
they didn't apply they are being forced just like people on the street are being dragged into busses and sent to the front line after two days of training!
😂😂😂😂
LOOK it was a problem when Russia was using prisoners you see how hypocritical Ukraine are now that they are using their prisoners
It seems that the US is running out of Ukrainians.
Imagine being charged for theft and you choose a death penality.😂
In the songs of Ukraine's children, there is a chorus of global hope, a dream of a brighter future shared by all.
@aerofred2002 the difference is that Russia is the aggressor with a population 5 times larger. Ukraine is literally fighting for its sovereignty. The difference is that a "Super Power" shouldn't have to use criminals to fill its ranks. There is no shame or comparison when Ukraine uses any able bodied person it can to fight a defensive war.
