It is said that the prisoners of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Africa in Russian prisons are being recruited for the war in Ukraine. Journalist Olga Romanova, head of the “Rus sidyashaya” foundation, provides information about this.

It is noted that according to the federal law “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”, foreign citizens cannot be conscripted into military service. It is illegal to involve foreign citizens in the war in Ukraine.

What Wagner is doing is illegal. Foreign prisoners are being recruited for war and they are dying. We also know cases of extrajudicial executions of citizens of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan,” said Romanova.

According to reports from the United States, 90 percent of the “Wagners” are prisoners.
