Oh Crap! Re: BEWARE Putins' Wrath -Turns OFF Heat in -55C Russian Jails to FORCE Inmates to Fi

Putin Turns OFF Heating in -55C Russian Jails to FORCE Inmates to Fight in Ukraine

The Russian president reportedly wants to boost his army with mass murderers and other dangerous criminals - making jail conditions even harsher to force them into fighting


Daily Mail 16 JAN 2024







It means inmates will be forced to freeze in unbrearable temperatures





Vladimir Putin has ordered prisons to turn off their heating despite sub zero temperatures in Russia – in an attempt to force inmates to fight on the frontline in Ukraine, it has been reported.


It means prisoners will be forced to freeze in unbrearable temperatures, with some parts of Russia recording temperatures as low as -55C, or take the option of signing up for battle. The Kremlin leader is reportedly planning to replenish his army with mass murderers, killers and other dangerous criminals and believes turning off the heating in prisons will leave inmates no choice but to head for Ukraine.

Olga Romanova, director of Russia Behind Bars human rights NGO, said the order was made in an effort to force convicts to go to war. She told German newspaper BILD: "For this reason, they simply turned off the heating at sub-zero temperatures. The conditions in prisons should become unbearable so that the men there go to Ukraine. The prisoners are simply sent en masse to the Ukrainian defence line and are sacrificed in the process."

According to the latest estimates, more than 100,000 inmates have been deployed already in Ukraine - including serial killer Denis Aleksandrovich Zubov who was sentenced to 21 years in a maximum-security jail in 2017 after murdering three people over a nine-month period

Zubov was included in a group of convicts who joined Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary group fighting in the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. But as well as inmates, Russian citizens have also been left without heating in the midst of a brutal Russian winter.

Residents living in the Moscow region, where temperatures dropped as low as -30C, as well as the Far East Primorye region and St Petersburg, Penza, and the southern Voronezh and Volgograd regions, have all been affected by heating outages.

Authorities have made temporary heating centres available to locals in some regions and declared a state of emergency, while others have been complaining of being left to ‘freeze to death’ in their homes for more than a week. Footage circulating on Telegram shows desperate residents burning wood on the streets to keep warm, while windows and doors are covered with layers of ice.

A protest on the main square of the town broke out on January 5, as residents complained that the temperature in their apartments had dropped to -10°C.


Signs at the protest read: "SOS – We are freezing – Punish the guilty".

In one video, a protester said: "Since yesterday they promise nothing. Grandmothers are freezing at home.* Children dressed in coats are sick, coughing. The hospitals are cold, everywhere is cold.* We need to do something to solve this. Who is responsible is still unclear…we get only excuses."
