Vladimir Putin is pumping soldiers full of drugs so they can fight for hours in Ukraine, it has been claimed.
Convicts freed to fight for the shadowy Wagner Group militia now make up a huge section of the Russian army after being offered a shot at freedom should they survive the war that has already killed 100,000 of their countrymen.
Reports from the frontline say the prisoners are being used as suicidal kamikaze-like battering rams sent ahead of more experienced soldiers to burst through Ukraine's hardened defences.
