It may sound like something straight out of “The Dirty Dozen,” but the Kremlin reportedly is offering convicts a “Get Out of Jail Free” card if they’re willing to fight for Russia in Ukraine.
Russian prisoners are being offered to have their sentences cleared and a $3,500 bonus if they come back alive after six months. Inmates are being recruited in St. Petersburg jails, according to the British newspaper the Daily Mail.
The convicts are being told they will be put on the front line of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to “hunt down Nazis,” the Daily Mail said, citing the independent news agency IStories.
