Update:
For the first time, prisoners from prisons and penal colonies are included. Under a new law, prisoners can be released on parole after an interview, a medical examination and a review of their conviction. Some offenders are excluded from mobilization. Deputy Justice Minister Olena Vysotska said more than 3,000 prisoners have joined military units. About 27,000 prisoners could be eligible. The Arey Battalion trains these recruits, seeing potential in their motivation and desire to serve.
