„Văduvele negre”: Femei acuzate că s-au căsătorit cu soldați ruși doar pentru a încasa indemnizațiile de deces • Newsweek România
In Russia, women dubbed 'black widows' are accused of marrying soldiers to claim death benefits. Maria discovered her father married just before deployment and was shocked to learn of his death. The phenomenon raises concerns about exploitation of military compensation, as some women allegedly trick vulnerable men into fake marriages. Reports indicate that some soldiers are married off before being sent to war, leading to public outrage and calls for action against such scams. The issue reflects broader societal anxieties amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with officials acknowledging the need for protection against these fraudulent practices.
