I see ..... let me check which country is a communist country which is english speaking???????
google said "nope".......
anyways, you are actually condemning amnesty international and they are assisting russia to fight against ukraine. but you don't know that is, amnesty international also has reports to condemn russia. but for you guys, any attack against ukraine that is from russia's propaganda.
don't deny, it is very clear..
So that will be a " I don't have sources to back up my claim". I'm claiming BS then.

The Ua AI that resigned summarized this really well.amnesty international is also russia's agent, right?
any organization, any person has a little tiny piece of question against zelensky's narratives that you guys will target them and labeling them as russia's propaganda, correct?
truly democratic and promoting freedom of expression indeed.......
There is no justification for criticizing Ua morals or actions in any shape or form (whatever they may be), because Ua is the victim.
Reports and incidents like this is what I'm keen to see.
The Russian soldiers refusing to fight in Ukraine
Because of their experiences on the front line, some troops are seeking legal advice to avoid being redeployed.

Why Russian Soldiers Are Refusing To Fight In The War On Ukraine
Activists say hundreds, possibly thousands of Russian soldiers are refusing to fight in Ukraine for reasons including exhaustion, a lack of preparation, and bad leadership. Current Time spoke to soldiers from two separate units about their actions.

You would think given a gap with no one "forcing" them they would AWOL instead of returning to Ukraine.

The BBC and other can write bad things about Russia even if it’s not true, propaganda is part of war on both sidesReports and incidents like this is what I'm keen to see.

I think you are finally starting to get it, it's exactly like that.

We're not allowed to talk about that here. Apparently it derails the thread.

And TASS is not allowed to write bad things about Russia even if it’s true.
Can you really not tell the difference?

Well, within 4 posts I can already see which way a certain Hermit is leaning.
So at the risk of creating an echo chamber, but one of which I am more than confident I want that chamber actually is to add it to the ignore list. I am confident that he will sooner rather than later show his true red colours.

Satirical, but his claims usually match in Ru news sources. Prison recruiting not going great

According to Olga Romanov’s, head of human rights organisation Russia Behind Bars, inmates with combat experience were being recruited in February and March 2022.
Operatives of FSB (former KGB) and Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) conducted recruitments in cooperation with PMC Wagner (fashioned after Blackwater).
Former military men serving time in penal colonies were no fools and knew they would be disposables and get killed, and all the recruitment efforts have failed.
As one former Spetznaz soldier told FSB operatives, “I’d rather break your noses right now and spend more time in jail than go to war in Ukraine.”
When the war entered second active stage in April, recruitment has spread to colonies all the way to Urals.
This time, the emphasis was on inmates with no combat experience who were far easier to persuade as they didn’t know what they were signing up for.
The deal is six months of active duty in Ukraine followed by full amnesty, granted he’s still alive of course.
Salary is 200,000 rubles a month ($4K), 300,000 ruble payment to seriously wounded, 5 million rubles transferable to a family member in case of death.
They’re told that survival rate is 20%, however that’s a very, very optimistic assessment.
Some inmates are planned to be used as sappers. In the FSB, the training of explosives technicians takes about 10 years, so they’d rather send two or three convicts without training to their deaths than lose one valuable staff member.
Russian Army does not use satellites and drones for recons, therefore they need volunteers to reveal the location of enemy firing points. This is also almost certain death.
Additionally, inmates will be thrown in frontlines of combat to facilitate advancement of the unit. Barrier troops positioned behind the frontlines consist of Chechen fighters who despise Russians will shoot them in case they decide to desert.
All those tactics - demining with human bodies, cannon fodder for advanced weaponry of the enemy, barrier troops - hail back from the Great Patriotic War.
Soviet soldiers were thrown under advancing Wehrmacht tanks to stall their progress, and piled up like heaps of sandbags to block embrasures of the pillboxes to facility advancement of the battalion.
According to Olga Romanova, prisoners are recruited, firstly, because there is a shortage of volunteers.
Secondly, many of convicts have no close relatives, or relatives who are still in touch with them.
They will be sent to their death like orphans were in the first days of war and no one will demand an explanation and more importantly request their body remnants thus no financial compensation will be paid.
Thirdly, there are many people from Donbas in Russian prisons, and it is their chance to return home.
Inmates who give their consent, record a video and write a special statement that they decided to go to war voluntarily in the event of a trial with relatives.
They are not legally released from punishment, but at the same time they are promised pardon and medals if they manage to survive.
They are sent to Rostov-on-Don to receive basic training course and with the help of informers weed out those who plan to escape or go over to the side of Ukraine.
Such inmates are brought to the so-called ‘torture colonies’ where they are continuously beaten and raped with broomsticks, and their prison sentences extended.
No contracts are signed with prisoners, hence Federal Penitentiary Service sending them to the frontlines is a gross violation of law.
Relatives of the inmates who agreed to go to war are afraid to complain publicly as not to make things worse. But in fact, many don’t do it waiting for the money for their wounds or death.
‘Putin’s Cook’ Yevgeny Prigozhin, director-general of Wagner Group and Internet Troll Farms in Russia, Ukraine and Africa, personally visited penal colonies in Ryazan Oblast and his native Saint Petersburg to motivate inmates to join his boss’s war.
According to Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the Internet project Gulagu Net, Yevgeny Prigozhin has received order from his superiors to recruit 20,000 inmates for the offensive in August/September.
So far, only about 1,000 inmates have been sent to the war front.
Is Russia recruiting soldiers from prisons, and sending rapists and pedophiles to terrorize Ukraine?
