PARANOID Putin and his Russian spies have invented a wild theory accusing the US of plotting to recruit Colombian cartel killers to fight for Ukraine.
The US is supposedly planning on building up Ukraine's frontline with prisoners currently locked up in North America, according to bizarre claims by the Russian intelligence service.
The gang will be made up of hundreds of Mexicans and Colombians prisoners that Russia has labelled "multinational rabble".
Russian spies, who say they received secret data detailing the US's master plan, has called it a "desperate method to attempt to turn the tide in Ukraine".
American jails are packed with ruthless members of Mexican and Colombian drug cartels ranging from stone cold killers to cartel kingpins.

The United States is resorting to increasingly desperate methods in its attempts to turn the tide in the Ukrainian theater of operations
Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation
News agency TASS say they were told of the information by the press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation.
The press bureau reported: “The United States is resorting to increasingly desperate methods in its attempts to turn the tide in the Ukrainian theater of operations.
"[By] replenishing the ranks of demoralized Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters with a multinational rabble with a penchant for armed violence."
The report said the "plan" was a collaboration between the US Directorate for Combating with drugs and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The supposed data was received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
The SVR made wild rumours suggesting the chosen prisoners would be sent on a "business trip" to Ukraine under the promise they would return to a pardon and be allowed to return home.
The Russian intelligence service claims this was put in place “in the expectation that they will never return".
They also allege the first "batch of thugs" will arrive in Ukraine in the summer and it could lead to a ramp up in US operations if all goes well.

However, the SVR has sensationally claimed the plan would never work anyway as "negotiating with drug lords is hard".
They reportedly told TASS: “Negotiations with drug lords are going hard, without whose blessing not a single bandit would dare to cooperate with the American authorities, fearing for his life and that of his loved ones."
RUSSIA'S FIGHTING CONVICTS
Russia themselves have been said to recruit prisoners to fight for them in the war.
It was reported back in January that more than 100,000 Russian prisoners have been sent into deadly warzones including mass murderers, rapists and drug traffickers.
Olga Romanova, director of the Russia Behind Bars human rights organisation, even described the Russian tyrant's sickening methods to find more "cannon fodder" fighters in jail as "torture".
She said: “The conditions in prisons should become unbearable so that the men there go to Ukraine.”
Olga also thinks the number of prisoners is likely to be higher and constantly rising with many being drafted into the notorious Wagner mercenary army.
Ukraine has also claimed Russian women have been found dead on the frontline.
A Kyiv official said the dead bodies of these women - trained to be Russian fighters - are increasingly being found in trenches.
Ukraine alleges female convicts have been recruited from prisons and are trained to use precision weapons.
And they are now dying fighting Putin's illegal war amid the Russian invasion.
Ukrainian Government advisor Anton Gerashchenko said: "In the trenches, among the dead occupiers, Russian women from women's (penal) colonies are increasingly being found.
"There are fewer and fewer (male) prisoners left in Russia who want to die in war - young ladies are thrown into ‘meat assaults’.”
