I'm wondering who did the subtitles for 3:42 - 3:48. The subtitles absolutely do not match the words from the video in this time interval. Good job. He said something like "5 minutes you decide who wants to go with us and who doesn't"

As a native Ukrainian-Russian speaking person fully confirming this. The translation of Prigozhin is completely made up, when he was speaking surrounded by the felons he asked whether anyone knows about Wagner and if yes they have 5 mins to decide whether they want to join them and if not then just leave. Bullshit about either join or get killed is literally made up.
Just the fact that you have to hire Mercenary Killers to force your own Soldiers to fight for you, says a lot!

"In my opinion, yes." It's really disturbing that such vile people don't think of these war crimes as war crimes. They call it an act of duty, of honor to the motherland. But they were not the first.

Yea, it is very maddening, how powerful states are treating their own people. If you consider that in the US private companies get good money from the government for keeping prisoners, even incentivizing the whole affairs of persecution to fill up the prisons and build more on taxpayers bill. That is sick on its own. In China people disappear! And China has a huge organ donor industry. I do not want to think this to the end. In Russia they gather them and throw them at the enemy. I dunno what to think about that, but the level of inhumanity that has been reached makes me sick.

There's another video that has the audio of one of these prisoners telling his wife that he was going to be executed. When his wife got his body back, she was told that he died of a shrapnel wound received during battle. The guy's entire battalion had been killed, and he was the only survivor. He was sent back to Russia, only to be executed as a traitor. Russia has no intention of sending any of these prisoners back with a pardon. They are being sent to Ukraine to as much damage as they can before they are either killed in battle, or by their own country.

Same old tactics used by Soviets in WWII. They gathered hundreds of civilians and convicts as "expandable" and sent them into a suicide charge without adequate rifles and ammunitions. In Ruzzian military, the purpose of those considered "expandable" are to wear down and waste the ammo of the opponents (at the expenses of their own lives of course).
