CNN reports on Russian women marrying soldiers for death-benefit payouts

CNN reports on the phenomenon of so-called "black widows" in Russia — women who deliberately marry soldiers fighting in Ukraine in order to collect death-benefit compensation after they are killed. A clip from a Russian real-estate podcast shows an agent openly advising a 30-year-old woman to "find a man serving in the special military operation." The phenomenon has reportedly sparked widespread outrage in Russia.
