"Russia 'sends WOMEN prisoners to Ukraine war zone for the first time' as Putin looks to make up for recent heavy losses that have seen more than 1,000 invading troops killed daily"

By RACHAEL BUNYAN and WILL STEWART FOR MAILONLINE | 14 March 2023 | 

"Russian president has sought 'alternative sources to replenish man power'" 

"Russia is believed to be sending women prisoners to the Ukraine war zone for the first time."

"Due to 'heavy losses' in the war that has seen more than 1,000 Russian troops killed per day in recent weeks, Vladimir Putin has sought 'alternative sources of replenishment of manpower', the Ukrainian army has claimed."

"Here some female prisoners - released under a scheme linked to the war effort - were put to work as farm laborers in field as well as 'greenhouses and cowsheds', possibly deployed in supplying the military."

Duties to include [but can well imagine not limited to] agricultural work. Release men for conscription, especially those militia units of the LPR and DPR badly decimated by sustained combat lasting a year now new manpower needed and fast!
