Wagner Group chief Yevgeniy Prigozhin argued that he would rather use prisoners than send fresh recruits, whom he called 'dandelion boys,' to the front lines of Ukraine.
, Tyutin’s release has prompted further criticism of the Wagner Group and its recruiting methods, which have increasingly relied on prisoners to bolster the sagging Russian forces.
The Pentagon recently revealed that it believed Russia had lost over 100,000 troops since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine nearly one year ago. Wagner chief Yevgeniy Prigozhin recommended Tyutin for the Order of Courage medal for his"battlefield bravery," particularly as part of an operation that stormed a fortified settlement. Prigozhin praised Tyutin’s"decisive and skillful actions.
But he has had to defend his support of Tyutin along with the other convicted criminals in his service. "Among those dandelion boys is your son, your father and your husband," he added."So weigh it up. Would you rather have the murderer going to war, or your family members?"
