Aggressor state of russia has significantly intensified campaign on the recruitment of foreign mercenaries from Central Africa for the war against Ukraine. In particular, among the recruits are residents of Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and Uganda.

The recruitment of Africans for their participation in “meat assaults” on Ukrainian territory is carried out by a special unit of the russian defence ministry.

Mercenaries are lured with an initial cash payment of $2,000 for signing a contract, a monthly salary of $2,200, health insurance, and a russian passport for the soldier and his family members.

As a reminder, earlier, mercenaries from Nepal, recruited by moscow for the war against Ukraine, deserted from the occupation army en masse due to numerous losses and the cruel treatment of russian field commanders.
