Video shows the head of a shadowy mercenary group recruiting at a Russian prison, offering inmates freedom if they fight in Ukraine but death if they run

Surrounded by prisoners dressed in black, a man identified as Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of a shadowy mercenary group, makes this pitch: Come fight in Ukraine and be rewarded with your freedom — if you can make it back alive.

"Nobody goes back behind bars," Prigozhin, founder of the Russian private military company Wagner, can be seen telling men in a video from a Russian prison yard, per a translation from The Wall Street Journal's Yaroslav Trofimov. "If you serve six months, you are free. If you arrive in Ukraine and decide it's not for you, we execute you."

He gives the men 5 minutes to make a choice.

“If you serve six months, you go free!”

And then, that ‘six months’ is extended for ‘Two Weeks’.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Nothing like giving a little incentive.

The Russian Foreign Legion. Just do not ever return to Russian soil.

But you may continue to kill others outside Russia.

That’s some pretty good motivation, get out of prison, come fight at the front, if you don’t fight, we execute you.

Just like the elected Democrats in NY state releasing violent criminals, but without the execution threat [/S].

The Ruskies must have watched that Ed Harris movie about Stalingrad. They used the same ploy in that movie.

Years ago in this country a young lawbreaker had a choice, “You either join the military or you go to jail. What is your answer?” - the judge says. That usually corrected their behavior problem.

The usual agit prop notwithstanding

Unlike most on this thread I am very informed on all perspectives on this Russo Uke war

And I can say with certainty knowing a dozen pro Russian and a dozen middle perspective bloggers in addition to western propaganda

That nobody can truly describe Wagner

It’s extremely secretive

My son has communicated with some via 4chan in the Syrian conflict

And I know they are heavy with Spetznaz and the like

And are often non coms

And range from early 20s to older at leadership

They are like Blackwater sort of

And ferocious

But I do know this

They are weary

They have been used a lot as spearhead for DPR and have done 90% of the actual fighting together

But anyone claims to really know is just more bullshit

They have historically fought some fanatics from Ossetia to Syria to CAR to Donbas

I think they have some black troops from CAR they hired as well after Pootie played in that sandbox

Word is they are glad the Chechens leave is up and the Chechens have returned to the war

This is what I know

Like I said I search all sources

Source veracity is in the order

Middle sources fairly clean

Russian sources well it is Russia but they disclose more than Ukraine does about troops and casualties probably for obvious reasons they can afford to and Ukraine can’t

Western media is nearly all just nonsense except yes Ukraine did take Back some territory last weekend

Same here, he deserves to make it back especially after killing Maggot.

At least Paul Kersey made it back, he was needed in the 70’s and 80’s to clean up crime in New York and Los Angeles.
