Russia stepped up on recruitment of Africans for the war against Ukraine to avoid mobilization within Russia, stated report by UK Ministry of Defense on X on June 10.
It is noted that Russia probably exhausted resources of prisoners who can be sent to the frontlines. Therefore, they expanded recruitment of foreigners, particularly in Central African countries such as Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, and Uganda.
Russia's recruitment campaign allows it to compensate significant Russian losses at the front and support offensive operations, statement said.
Defence Intelligence of Ukraine on May 1 reported that mercenaries from Nepal were deserting the Russian occupation army en masse due to losses in “meat assaults.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
