As it turned out, a battalion «Characteristics» was created in the Ukrainian state, which includes citizens who were serving sentences in prison institutions.
This information was reported by the 24th Separate Assault Brigade named after King Daniel in its Telegram, reports URA-Inform.
It is reported that the recruits received a chance for a new life . The team notes a high level of patriotism among them, many of whom expressed a desire to defend Ukraine. There are also many people with combat experience.
«Volunteers took the opportunity and decided to return to armed service, defending their homeland from invaders», — says the official statement.
Former prisoners have already taken a military oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people. In the near future «Characteristics» will begin to carry out combat missions and demonstrate their abilities on the battlefield.
Ukraine already has a law on the voluntary mobilization of former prisoners, approved by parliament. However, there are certain restrictions for participation: those convicted of crimes in which the national security interests of Ukraine were involved cannot mobilize.
We would like to remind you that Zelensky adopted a new decision on the UN Security Council: an insider revealed what the emphasis will be.
