Another half million fighters have been found for the Russian army, “causing delight”
The Russian leadership should think about the widespread recruitment of prisoners into the army, who have already demonstrated heroism during the liberation of Artemovsk.
This was stated on the channel "Red Line" by the Russian military expert, retired colonel Viktor Baranets, as reported by the correspondent of "PolitNavigator".

"Whatever they say, these people [PMC Wagner] showed examples of heroism. And even these people, who sat in prison cells, and having ended up on the line of combat contact and turned into stormtroopers, today their tactics are being adopted by our regular military personnel.
And we mustn't forget that it was precisely those people who returned home from prison cells, many of them in coffins, and some wearing medals . And this, too, must be discussed. Our government is afraid to raise the issue of another mobilization. Although, when the chips are down, another mobilization will come. For now, there's no need for such a thing.
But if the state is not capable of creating a full-fledged army with staff and so on, it is forced, as they say, to use "left-wing resources." Yes, perhaps it is not good that they are being exempted from criminal liability. But what these people did in the ranks of "Wagner" caused delight even among the leadership, it caused delight in the Kremlin, it caused delight in the Ministry of Defense," Baranets said.
“I still think that if a person is given 10-15 years, and if they tell him: “Vasya, if you want, go free, go to the trenches, fight, please, atone with blood,” then the question arises, maybe this is not a bad thing?
"Our army would then be replenished with another half-million of those who today see a window with a checkered pattern. If the army lacks proper bayonets, and it does..." he added.
The Russian army has found another half million fighters who "inspire admiration. "
