Russians throw mobilized prisoners to conduct reconnaissance battle 

He said this on the air of the Espresso TV channel

"The Russian forces use all available methods that they have. Of course, these are artillery and tanks. They use ordinary Infantry, which they drive to attack. Moreover, prisoners, whom they mobilize in prisons, are often driven to investigate in battle. This is certain death for them," said Ilyenko.

The officer of the Svoboda battalion noted that the mobilized Russians are sent to certain death quite deliberately

"They throw prisoners at our positions to identify defense points. This is done deliberately because the Russians know that the first wave of attack will die 100%. And this is always repeated. In particular, a week ago, the soldiers of our brigade defeated one of these attacks and almost all the Russians were killed," he added.
