Influx of Foreign Mercenaries in Ukrainian Occupied Territories
In temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, local residents are observing the arrival of more Kremlin mercenaries. In particular, Russian occupiers are transporting militants from Cuba and Nigeria to the area. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance on Friday, March 1.
Training of Foreign Fighters
It is noted that foreign fighters are undergoing training at local training grounds. The mercenaries are being trained by Russian instructors, former members of the private military company Wagner.
Recruitment of Mercenaries
«Russia actively recruits killers from poor countries around the world, where it has extensive agent networks, as empires always wage their colonial wars with the hands of other nations,» the Center for National Resistance stated. According to the CNR, mercenaries from other countries receive greater payments than Russians.
Seeking Mercenaries Abroad
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, Russia is seeking mercenaries for the war against Ukraine in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Nepal, Syria, and Cuba. For the Russian Federation, it is more profitable and cheaper to recruit mercenaries abroad than to continue mobilization measures within the country.
