I can only imagine that being wonderfully dangerous for everyone involved. The medics trying to fix them, or those who get spray and/or shrapnel that went through them.
But it's very efficient for the cost saving measures of the Russian state. Less patients to care for for an indefinite period of time.

Pretty sure these guys (it's guys right?) aren't getting any medics.
Things must be pretty dire if this the sub-bottom of the barrel they're scraping for fodder.
Wow!

What if it comes to close combat. Then they are literal bio weapons.
They probably won't be getting their viral suppression drugs at the front line, will they?
What happens when they become POWs? When Ukrainian medics try to patch them up.
I'm an infection biologist, so I'm not someone who is blindly scared of HIV - yet we're not talking about sharing a meal, sitting in an office together, or meeting in the street - we're talking about a scenario where blood notably goes everywhere that isn't inside the body.

According to some stats, over 90% of all deaths recently were due to drones, there's actually very little close-quarters, human-on-human combat going on in the Ukraine war

I love how after years of Ukraine forcibly sending diseased and mentally deficient people to the front line they suddenly try to "no u" the narrative while Russia is still just paying anyone who will go. Meanwhile Zelensky is out there begging the EU to forcibly return all the people who fled his regime, saying it was "illegal" that they left to preserve their own lives.

Its been amazing watching Americans go from hating Russia unconditionally to be their #1 bootlicker.

Stop with the unhinged rants.
Barents Observer is a russian publication with real russian journalists inside russia
Not a narrative; this is a concrete news article with a photo as proof.

Old news. Both Russia and Ukraine have cleared out half of their prisons, drug addict clinics and hospices all the way back in 2023-24.
Soon the last twenty citizens of each country will be the most healthy and the most law-abiding ones.

It is a rather effective method of recruitment. Reduces the negative impact on the respective countries when those soldiers get killed on the battlefield.

Russia has also had an epidemic of violence of killers etc coming home...especially from Wagner where those that got through 6 months went home.
I remember reading about a guy that went home to a small village where he'd murdered his father and several other people. He was supposed to be treated like a hero...now he was just a murderer that had combat experience, weapons trainine and front line experience...what could possibly go wrong

Didn't want to get home and murder his ex girlfriend 2 weeks later

Active news as in this is ongoing in Russia.

As long as it's voluntary and not being dragged out of the streets and thrown into a van, like they do in Ukraine...
