The prisoner spoke about the reason for the Ukrainians' service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) joined the army because of money or repayment of a criminal record. This was announced on April 18 by the Ukrainian prisoner Roman Zayats.

"They are mainly for money - this is one thing, and secondly, this is the removal of a criminal record," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

At the same time, he stressed that among prisoners, only those whose remaining term of imprisonment does not exceed five years have the opportunity to join the army.

"For example, he was given 15 years for murder, he has three years left. Yes, he can go. And if it's six or seven years old, it won't work anymore," said the Hare.
