Two penal colonies will be closed in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, as almost all prisoners were sent to the war against Ukraine.
In the Krasnoyarsk region of the Russian Federation, two penitentiary labor institutions will be closed in the near future. This is due to the fact that almost all prisoners were sent to the war against Ukraine. This is reported by The Insider, according to UNN.
