Vladimir Putin recently released a convicted murderer who raped and killed his girlfriend to fight in Ukraine, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a surprising development like that of the Russian leader war against Ukraine continues to escalate more than 16 months after the first started in February 2022, Putin reportedly pardoned hundreds of convicted criminals to fight in the ongoing conflict.
Vladislav Kanyus26, was just one of hundreds of criminals released by Putin to fight alongside the Russian army on the war front.
According to Daily starKanyus was convicted of stabbing his girlfriend – Vera Pekhteleva23 – 111 times during a four-hour torture session after she told the 26-year-old they were breaking up.
Kanyus also allegedly raped the 23-year-old during the four-hour torture session and Pekhteleva’s mother, Oksana Pekhtelevacondemned the Russian president for releasing the “fanatical” and “maniac” killer of her daughter.
“This monster, freed from a criminal conviction, escaping from the front line or switching sides, can at any time kill one of us, the victims, in revenge,” the victim’s mother charged.
“Those who go through an interview and then have doubts do not have to go,” Prigozhin said in November while recruiting a group of convicted Russian rapists, murderers and cannibals.
“We only need those who are sure they want to fight, who like to fight, who need it and whose physical shape allows it,” the now-exiled Wagner boss added at the time.
