Russia offers cash bonuses, frees prisoners and lures foreigners to replenish its troops in Ukraine
For average wage earners in Russia, it's a big payday. For criminals seeking to escape the harsh conditions and abuse in prison, it's a chance at freedom. For immigrants hoping for a better life, it's a simplified path to citizenship.
