The prison population, which has 400,000 people, is a unique human resource that the Kremlin can use to support the invasion and production of military goods. The defense-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is likely to be able to use the work of prisoners in an attempt to satisfy the Kremlin's requests for the production of new weapons. This was reported in the new report of January 13 by the military intelligence of the UK Ministry of Defense.

The department reminds that in November 2022, the largest manufacturer of Uralvagonzavod tanks in Russia reported that after meeting with the management of the Federal Sentence Service (FSVP), the company decided to employ 250 prisoners. In the Russian Federation, according to the department, there is a long tradition of using ZEK work, but since 2017 compulsory work as a separate criminal punishment has been introduced again.

"The FSVP, which has one of the highest levels of imprisonment in the world, controls the growing empire, which has more than 400,000 prisoners, and is often accused of extreme cruelty and corruption. Prison population is a unique human resource that Russian leaders can use To support "your", while volunteers are willing to work in a shortage, "the British scouts continued in their report.

Given the above facts, the agency concludes that the work of prisoners will be sharply in demand during the production of low -tech weapons "Uralvagonozavod", which is likely to undergo heavy pressure from the Kremlin, which requires as soon as possible to increase the volume of products.

It should be noted that the Institute for the Study of the ISW War in its report from January 12 argued that Vladimir Putin was publicly trying to find the guilty in the failures of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. During one of the government meetings, the Kremlin head made a "Viceremier-Minister Denis Manturov's Vice-Minister" and demanded to increase the production of a defense-industrial complex in 2023.
