UKRAINE RELEASING ITS DANGEROUS PRISIONERS

Ukraine is releasing inmates and criminal suspects with a military background so they can join the fight against Russia’s “special operation” in the country.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday (February 28) said that the country is ready to release prisoners with past military experience if they are willing to join the fight with Russia.

The leader also asked the European Union to allow Ukraine to gain membership under a special procedure immediately as it defends itself from invasion by Russian forces.

“Our goal is to be with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be equal. I`m sure that`s fair. I am sure we deserve it,” he said in a video speech shared on social media.
