VLADIMIR Putin is letting off rapists and murderers before they go to trial to go fight in Ukraine.
It is the desperate despot‘s latest bid to keep his meat-grinder churning as some 20,000 criminals are expected to join the frontline.
President Putin has signed a bill that enables offenders to dodge prosecution and criminal proceedings against them if they enlist to fight in Ukraine.
The Russian president’s move, which comes after earlier attempts to recruit prisoners, aims to support the nation’s increasing losses in Ukraine as the government is struggling to attract fighters.
The measure was passed into law late on Wednesday and may see some 20,000 criminals going to the warfront from pre-trial detention centres, Russian investigative media outlet iStories reports.
It will see defendants who are currently on trial for serious crimes will now having the option to appeal to the court and have all charges against them erased if they sign a contract with the defence ministry to join the Russian military in Ukraine.
According to iStories, which cited anonymous military sources, Russian pre-trial detention facilities anticipate releasing 100 inmates apiece to join the fight, potentially contributing the 20,000 additional people to the national effort.
The State Duma defence committee leader, Andrei Kartapolov, who spearheaded the bill’s passage through parliament, labelled the measure as a means of allowing offenders to make amends to society.
“The person is essentially repenting for their crime,” he remarked, alluding to Russia‘s habit of enlisting prisoners in the early, most trying stages of the Second World War.
The new rule does not include any exclusions to pardonable crimes, with MPs who drafted the bill stating that the choice would be left to individual judges.
Similar measures in the past have not permitted anyone guilty of treason, spying, terrorism, or sexual crimes against minors to avoid prosecution.
Legal experts have slammed the plan, accusing it of weakening the fundamentals of criminal justice, which hold that punishment is inevitable, The Times reports.
Ekaterina Schulmann, a non-resident scholar at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Centre in Berlin, said on her weekly YouTube show: “This is a daring legal experiment on society.
“You have to be really desperate to do it — or you have to display sheer legal nihilism and an utter lack of understanding of how law works and why we need it.
“No society can carry on like this: it cannot encourage crime and murders at this level.”
As Russia’s professional army suffered significant losses in combat in the summer of 2022, the country began to utilise its sizeable jail population for soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of Russian males, primarily well-educated white-collar workers, were scared into leaving the nation by a brief partial mobilisation that Russia launched in the autumn of 2022 after failing to recruit volunteers prepared to fight and die in Ukraine throughout the war.
One could interpret the new law as an effort to attract recruits in order to prevent a further mobilisation.
Some Russian pro-war bloggers meanwhile argued it is the only answer to the shortages in Ukraine.
It comes after Russia’s Defence Ministry on Thursday confirmed reports that its forces had taken control of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, crediting what it called decisive action taken by units in its “East” military grouping.
The Vuhledar wasteland seizing marks an empty victory for Putin’s forces after two and a half years of fighting.
Meanwhile, shocking footage showed the moment Russian soldiers took a desperate leap from a moving truck to escape death following a high speed chase.
A vehicle full of Vlad’s men was seen being hunted down and ruthlessly eliminated by a FPV drone.
The video shows the Russians speeding down the road as a lethal Ukrainian FPV drone chases after them.
The soldiers are captured desperately trying to jump out of the vehicle, with one man ahead of the rest – looking to save himself.
One soldier appears to make it out, bizarrely still holding his massive gun while his pals don’t escape in time.
The video then cuts as the drone hits.
YOU’D be forgiven for assuming Coldplay’s latest offering might sound like the same old stuff after ten albums and 24 years since their debut record.
They are selling out stadiums around the world and preparing for a record ten-night run at Wembley next August.
But does anyone really want another batch of tracks from Chris Martin and the gang?
More importantly, is it any good?
I’m happy to say that on both fronts it’s a big yes.
Moon Music delivers. It mixes classic Coldplay with more futuristic and experimental offerings.
All My Love is reminiscent of their 2005 mega-hit Fix You and is certain to be a favourite with fans and newlyweds looking for a first dance.
Chris sings: “We’ve been through low, been through sunshine, been through snow. You’ve got all my love, whether it rains or pours, I’m all yours.”
We Pray and Aeterna are their most electronic and quirky tracks in years.
The latter opens with an electronic vocoder before a funky Bee Gees-inspired beat kicks in.
My only criticism is Coldplay have continued with a tradition set by 2021 album Music Of The Spheres and named one track as an emoji.
Luckily, I can’t see (rainbow emoji) being a single anytime soon, as it’s more than six minutes of whimsical, uplifting chords.
Lyrically, Moon Music is cheese, but then when have Coldplay ever done otherwise? Jupiter’s repetitive “I love who I love” chorus feels like the “live, laugh, love” of music.
But I bet you it will be chanted back to them with euphoric gusto come the group’s 2025 UK shows.
The album ends with One World, opening with a bird chorus reminiscent of their Beyonce collaboration Hymn For The Weekend. Over strings and synths, Chris softly sings: “In the end it’s just love.”
And I think he’s right. I can’t see this breaking their run of nine No1 albums.

LANA DEL REY has told fans that she is “very happy” after tying the knot in a surprise wedding.
She got hitched last week to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in a low-key ceremony in Louisiana, following a whirlwind romance.
In a comment posted on her Instagram account, she wrote: “Jeremy is the one and only.
“And amazing. And we’re very happy.”
LILY ALLEN is considering embarking on her first tour in six years and says it could be mortifying.
Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of her debut album Alright, Still, but she is unsure whether to celebrate the milestone.
Lily said on her Miss Me podcast: “I do think maybe there is a conversation to be had about doing a 20th anniversary tour of Alright Still – but that person singing those songs is a relative child.
“I can’t imagine being a 40- year-old woman standing up on stage singing those songs with any conviction. My voice is different.”
But she added: “I think I could possibly connect with It’s Not Me, It’s You, my second album, a bit more than I can my first.
“It came out in 2009 so that gives me five years. But I’ll be 45. I’ll have had the facelift, the boob job and the bum lift by then.”
I don’t think she’s even joking.
TOGETHER Again – the UK’s newest music festival – has announced a line-up featuring UB40, Jake Bugg, Scouting For Girls, Gabrielle, East 17 and The Lottery Winners.
The headliners are yet to be revealed but the three-day event at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire will run from July 25 to 27.
Weekend tickets start from £99, with kids and grandparents going free.
A SHOT from Blur‘s comeback gigs at Wembley Stadium last summer has won Music Moment of the Year.
The 2024 Abbey Road Music Photography Awards were held at the historic studios in West London last night, where Tom Pallant’s picture of the band’s guitarist Graham Coxon on stage, scooped the prize.
Tom said: “Knowing Graham would launch his guitar 20ft in the air, I was ready to capture the exact moment.
“It’s the only time I’ve ever shouted ‘Yes!’ out loud after getting a shot.”
Top photographer Rankin, who was the lead judge, said: “The work this year has surpassed my expectations, it’s really elevating the standard to new heights.
“We’ve received an overwhelming 22,000 images, making the selection process challenging and inspiring.”
PERRIE EDWARDS gets a step up in her career as she poses on a ladder to launch new single You Go Your Way.
She looked incredible in this shoot for Euphoria magazine ahead of the track’s release today. But the former Little Mix singer faces fierce competition.
She has put out the track on one of the busiest days of the year so far for fun pop releases.
Eurovision winner Nemo has returned with the single Eurostar while Ella Henderson has dropped Filthy Rich, her first solo track in two years.
Other new releases include Aitch’s FWG, Rizzle Kicks’ Gumdrops, and Billy Flynn of Bethnal Green by Louis Dunford.
Blackpink‘s Lisa has put out her solo single Moonlit Floor, while Rag’n’Bone Man has dropped his latest tune, Pocket.
I LOVED the American cartoon Rugrats when I was a kid, but it’s return sounds downright weird.
It’s been announced that a live-action movie is in the works, complete with CGI babies.
The original animated series, which launched in 1991, was bright and fun.
But I can only imagine that watching actual toddlers chat and scheme will be creepy and uncomfortable.
Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Phil and Lil DeVille and Angelica Pickles will all appear in the movie, which has been written by Saturday Night Live stars Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell.
I’m hoping I will be proved wrong, given I was very sceptical before the Barbie movie became a hugely successful blockbuster.
But putting babies on the big screen feels wrong to me.
AFTER Brad Pitt went public with his girlfriend Ines De Ramon in August, ex-wife Angelina Jolie appears to be showing off a special someone in her life too.
She has been romantically linked to British rapper and political activist Akala, the brother of Ms Dynamite.
They were first seen together in August at the Venice Film Festival and he was recently pictured with Angelina and her son Pax at the New York premiere of her latest film Maria.
But speculation grew when he attended a party she threw for her company Atelier Jolie at the weekend. He was spotted in the background of photos shared online from the bash.
However, those close to the actress insist they are just pals.
A source said: “They share the same passion when it comes to social and humanitarian causes.
“They did several collabs over the years. Angie speaks very highly of him.”
It’s claimed he has a partner called Chanelle, who has apparently been with him at events when he’s been seen with Ange.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS has been transformed into an ape in his upcoming biopic – and he has finally explained why.
The first trailer for Better Man has just been released and shows a chimpanzee, playing the singer.
Rob says in the snippet: “I know what you’re thinking, what’s with the monkey?
“I’m Robbie Williams. I’m one of the biggest pop stars in the world but I’ve always seen myself a little less evolved.”
I’ll reserve judgment until it hits cinemas on Boxing Day.
TOTTENHAM’S clash at Ferencvaros was halted – after players were unable to see each other due to smoke.
The referee also signalled he couldn’t see the far side of the pitch in the Europa League clash.
Spurs were leading through Pape Matar Sarr’s fine goal on 23 minutes.
