Prisoners in Belarusian jails have been ordered to produce supplies for the Russian Army, from camouflage equipment to coffins and plastic flowers for soldiers’ graves, revealed a Novaya Gazeta report, quoted by The Times. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Although soldiers from Belarus, the Kremlin’s biggest ally in Europe, are not fighting in Ukraine, the country’s leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has allowed Russia to use the country as a platform for its invasion.<\/p>\n

One prisoner recalled recognizing the coffins he had made while watching a television report about the funerals of Russian troops.<\/p>\n

Prisoners also make crates for artillery shells, frames for field beds, envelopes for recruitment notices and death certificates, and plastic flowers for the graves of Russian soldiers.<\/p>\n
