Russia's bloodiest serial killer 'The Werewolf' begs Putin to let him fight in Ukraine

Mikhail Popkov has said that he killed 83 women, but it is thought that the real number is closer to 200. He now wants to be let out of prison to fight in Ukraine.
The Russian serial killer who killed the most people has asked to be set free so he can join Russian President Vladimir Putin's army in Ukraine, which is failing.

Former police officer Mikhail Popkov, 58, was called "The Werewolf" because between 1992 and 2012, he killed 83 women.

People think that he has killed around 200 people, but he has only ever admitted to a smaller number.

He would go after women who did things he thought were "immoral." He would wear a police uniform to get them to come to him, offer them a ride in his police car, and then brutally kill them.

He used knives, axes, and screwdrivers, among other things, to kill them. Then, shockingly, he raped their dead bodies.

"Let me fight," he begged
Popkov begged Putin, "Let me fight," and now he wants to help Russia fight.

Last week, the Russian government let state TV interview him while he was in jail. He begged to join Putin's fighters.

He said he knew how to work with radio electronics because he was in the Red Army. He hopes to get out of prison by using the notorious Kremlin prisoner scheme, which has sent as many as 40,000 prisoners to the front lines.

Popkov is even suddenly confessing to more murders because he wants to join the Wagner Group, a feared mercenary army led by Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin that is helping the Kremlin invade Ukraine.

Russian state TV asked him, "What is your dream?"

"To join the army," he said.

"I wouldn't think twice about it.

Putin has sent prisoners to Ukraine to fight, and many of them have joined the Wagner mercenary group.

"If I talk about my job as a military registrar, I think it's pretty popular right now.

"Even though it might be more modern now—radio-electronics.

"But I don't think it would be so hard to learn quickly, even though I've been in prison for 10 years."

He made it sound like his desire to fight in the war was more than just a wish.

"This is not a video game, and these are not superhero stories in books," he said.

The Kremlin has not yet answered his question.
