Bullet points of Elderly woman's killer released for second time to fight in Ukraine
- Ivan Rossomakhin, a Russian murderer, was released from prison to fight in the war in Ukraine and later killed an 85-year-old woman, Yulia Byuskikh, in her own house.
- Rossomakhin was serving a 14-year prison sentence for murder when he was released to join the Wagner mercenary group.
- He was later found guilty of Yulia's rape and murder and sentenced to 22 years in a high-security prison, but was released again in August.
- The Russian military is recruiting convicts from prisons to fight in Ukraine, with thousands of rapists, murderers, and other criminals released from incarceration.
- The practice was formalized in an official federal law in March this year, and recruitment is now intensifying.
- Convicted criminals who sign up to fight have their remaining sentences suspended for the duration of their military service, and some could even receive an official pardon if they win awards.
- The Russian military desperately needs more recruits, with a grinding offensive in Ukraine's Donbas region depleting Moscow's reserves.
- The Kremlin's willingness to release dangerous criminals like Rossomakhin indicates that the authorities do not care about the safety of peaceful civilians.
