Nikolai Patrushev gives speech about Putin in past tense<\/h3>\n

Vladimir Putin has been forced to defend himself after the Kremlin announced a high-profile murderer had been pardoned – despite his 17-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov addressed the press to outline why Vladislav Kanyus, a man sentenced for the brutal murder of his 23-year-old girlfriend, had been released to join the war effort.<\/p>\n

Kanyus was sentenced to 17 years in jail in July for the brutal killing Vera Pekhteleva in Kemerovo, Siberia, with 111 stab wounds after torturing and raping her for hours.<\/p>\n

Peskov defended the Russian leader’s decision, explaining the high-profile murderer would “atone with blood for crimes on the battlefield, in assault brigades, under bullets, under shells.”<\/p>\n

He added: “There is a certain procedure for pardon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“It is an admission of guilt, a decision at the level of the FSIN, then at the level of the region, then at the level of the federal district, then the central commission, then the documents are submitted to the president.<\/p>\n

“This is one way. There is a second way – when they redeem with blood, including on serious articles.<\/p>\n

Pekhteleva’s mother discovered in June that her daughter’s killer had been deployed to fight in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

And human rights activist Alena Popova last week confirmed Kanyus had received a pardon in exchange for serving at the front with other Russian troops.<\/p>\n

According to intelligence reports on the state of the Russian Army, the Kremlin has been recruiting among prisoners for months due to heavy losses in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
