SALVATION ARMY🎉🎉
When CNN came to a town or a city in Ukraine's frontline, that city would soon fall to the Russians.🎉
Zelensky is willing to fight to the last US taxpayers' dollar.
Cnn a years ago . Using convicts for battle is illegal..
They laughed at putin for the same actions
…Wow… they are putting a positive spin on forcing prisoners to fight because Ukrainians are deserting from the war?
What's to say a convict won't dissert
Prayers for these gentleman soldiers🙏🙏🙏🙏
Convicts on Putin's side are evil, convicts on Zelensky side are blessing?
People are dying and Zelensky is wiggling for too long instead of Peace talks.
When I worked in a Machine Shop back in the 80's or shop Supervisor was a former Navy Machinist .. he had spent some time behind bars, mostly due to fighting in bars.
He was going to spend more time but the judge gave him a choice..
Go to prison or go to a recruiter..
He wasn't told a specific branch and the Vietnam War still had 12 more years to go.
The concept of convict conscription is not new.
CNN proud to report convict fighting for Ukraine,but in the past year they against the Russian for recruit convicts mfigthing in bahkmut,
Viva russia
mr z is cosplaying mr p
Hang on a minute I’ve heard this tactic before. Hogans Hero’s! Now Zelensky’s Hero’s!
Whoaa,but u kept saying Ukraine is winning..um confused
The ukriane is currently invading Russian ground.
"Desperate Russia is sending convicts to war against the ukriane "
But this is absolutely acceptable here????
The ukrianian terrorists have used fire drones, which is classified as weapon of mass destruction
Point of correction Ukraine is fighting for Neto alliance not for Ukraine freedom and is against Russia policy
At least cnn is telling truth 😂😂
Im sorry?? The ukriane invading Russian territories is a success??? Dafaq
This is what they claimed Russia was doing with its troops—recruiting prisoners and sacrificing them on the front lines. I hope that’s not the situation here; we can’t condemn Russia for this while praising Ukraine if that’s the case.
USA asked Sweden NOT TO GIVE Gripen. How stupid is that ? The promished F16
does not come to Ukraine
Ukraine is getting fucked, stop the clap with your propaganda Western influencer. No one came back from Kursk 😂😂😂
when Ukrainian convicts fight for their country, that's good, when Russian convicts fight for their country, that's bad. Great, unbiased journalism…
Do you expect Ukrainian will win the war with the dirty dozen?
