Letting them out suggests they will be free as well but they are not. They are bound to their unit, and it is not allowed for a lot of crimes. Violent crimes, sex crimes, DUI, and crimes against state security are all excluded. The Ukranian law also for it people that have a criminal record from serving and this also changed that. So it is not a “free pass” but they no longer have to ait in a jailcel eating up state resources.
Now we hope they don’t eat eachother.
