The number of Russian soldiers committing murder after returning home from the frontline have soared over the past few years amid “chronic mental health” issues linked to serving on the battlefield.
Data from Moscow’s judicial department showed that 113 active servicemen were convicted in 2023 - representing a near 900 per cent increase on just 13 convictions in 2022.
The UK Ministry of Defence said the high number of homicides was likely due to “war-related chronic mental health issues” and the release of thousands of ex-convictspardoned for their participation in the war.

Pfffft.... Yet another sign of the Russian economy booming!
The murder economy
The sanctions are not working! 😡
(also, please stop the sanctions 🥺)

It's that capitalist policy of murders and acquisitions.
