“In view of the significant losses in the war in Ukraine, the Russian Federation has intensified recruitment for private military companies. Due to the lack of volunteers, recruitment in places of deprivation of liberty is being intensified. In particular, located in the Republic of Adygea. After signing and executing the contracts with the PVC, the “convicts” are promised a full amnesty,” the GUR informs.

It is noted that the collection of recruits takes place at a military training ground near the Molkino hamlet of the Krasnodar Territory.
It is known as a training base for the fighters of the “Wagner” PMC, intelligence officers note.
Similar work is carried out in prisons in Rostov, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod, the intelligence report says. The article under which a specific person was convicted is not important. Even if it is murder or other serious crimes. Everyone is promised full amnesty after 6 months of “service”.
At the same time, it is reported that all “convicts” must wear special tokens that indicate their status. They are not allowed to have touch phones – only outdated push-button “bells”.
During the interviews, which are conducted by military personnel of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, recruits are informed that up to 10,000 volunteers are planned to be recruited within two months. After that, the composition of the PVC will be redeployed to the territory of Donbas.
Among the main tasks of the “volunteers”, according to the State Government, is to establish control over the roads in the direction of Izyum – Sloviansk – Bakhmut.
“In addition, the Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation for the Kostroma Region sent the head of the Vokhom Municipal District a request to provide background information on persons prone to committing crimes under Art. 207.3, Art. 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public dissemination of false information and actions to discredit the Soviet Union and their participation in aggression against Ukraine). When collecting such information, special attention is paid to close relatives of servicemen who died on the territory of Ukraine or took part in the war,” informants inform.
