‘Cronies unit’ keeps Russian MPs and sons 50 miles from front line

Russian MPs have been accused of setting up a remote reconnaissance unit far behind the front line so they and their military-age sons can serve in Ukraine without being killed.

The Kremlin has told politicians to back its invasion if they want to earn the respect of ordinary Russians.

Since then, Russian MPs have signed up to serve in the secretive Cascade unit, based somewhere in Donbas, for a month or so – guaranteeing useful photos of themselves in military uniform, and perhaps a medal.
